Quick take

A solvent designed to degrease and clean fishing reels without harming internal components.

Ardent Reel Kleen is a citrus-based solvent degreaser made for cleaning fishing reels. It breaks down old grease and grime inside the reel, then dries clean and leaves a thin film that helps guard against corrosion. This 16-ounce spray bottle suits anglers who service several reels before re-greasing them.
