[TRY-ANGLE] Reel Anode

Introducing “Reel Anode” - A New Item to Protect Your Reel From Corrosion

“Anode (sacrificial zinc)” is a corrosion prevention technology used on boats, outboard motors, car fenders, bolt joints, and more.
We are releasing the “Reel Anode,” a sticker-type anode cut to reel foot size, designed to bring this “Anode” technology to fishing tackle.

This is a localized corrosion prevention item based on the “sacrificial anode” principle - corroding in place of the reel foot or screws to protect important metal parts - combined with the “coating protection effect” inherent to zinc foil.
Protect your beloved reel from corrosion with the “Reel Anode”!

| With vs. Without Anode

Two aluminum reel frames (chrome-plated, manufactured by Isuzu Kogyo) that had already begun to corrode were prepared.
They were submerged in saltwater (concentration 3.5% to 4.5%) to rapidly accelerate corrosion.



- With Anode, Day 4 (Left) - Without Anode, Day 4 (Right)




- With Anode, Day 7 (Left) - Without Anode, Day 7 (Right)




- With Anode, Day 14 (Left) - Without Anode, Day 14 (Right)

Compared to the frame without an anode applied, the frame with an anode applied showed significantly less corrosion progression.

*Results may vary depending on the body material, plating/anodizing finish specifications, or differences in manufacturing lots.
*The experimental results shown are one example, and do not guarantee the effect on all reels including those made by other manufacturers.


| Application Method

- Before applying, remove any rust or dirt from the application area and degrease to remove any oil.
- Use tweezers to ensure that oil from your fingers does not transfer onto the adhesive surface or the application area.
- Apply while pressing out any air to avoid wrinkles.
- After applying, press firmly with a soft cloth to ensure full adhesion to the target area.
- If the Reel Anode becomes corroded, replace it with a new Reel Anode.

*This product is intended to reduce corrosion, and is not designed to completely prevent corrosion.
*This product does not remove existing corrosion (including rust).
*The intended effect may not be achieved depending on usage conditions.




Items to Prepare
- Reel Anode
- The Reel You Want to Apply It To
- Parts Cleaner (For Degreasing)
- Tweezers
- Soft Cloth Such as an Eyeglass Cleaning Cloth




Spray an appropriate amount of parts cleaner onto a soft cloth.




Wipe away dirt from the application area, then degrease by wiping with the cloth sprayed with parts cleaner.




Peel the anode from the backing paper using tweezers, taking care not to touch the adhesive surface with your fingers.




Apply it to the reel body using tweezers.




Press it down firmly with the cloth to ensure full adhesion to the body.
