EWREX Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 looking for some reccomendations from you guys on what kind of reel grease/oil you use Quote
redmeansdistortion Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Yamaha blue marine (Yamalube) grease for gears and other areas with metal to metal contact. A 12oz tube runs ~$10 +/- a buck or two. For bearings and level winds, I like TSI 321, and for IAR bearings, Reel X. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 4, 2019 Super User Posted February 4, 2019 Shimano drag grease and shimano oil. I also have a kit from Ardent. I have grown to like the Reel Butter for the main gear. I also try to use the oil that comes with the reel (Daiwa and Abu Garcia). I am not a fan of Quantum's Hot Sauce. 1 Quote
CrankFate Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Cals grease. ReelX. But I am now trying CorrosionX gun oil. It’s cheaper and I use a lot of oil. 1 Quote
Smelter96 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Daiwa blue grease on gears. TSI 321 on bearings. 1 Quote
Stephen B Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 ZPI F-Zero Reel Oil Shimano Reel Grease Cal's Grease 1 Quote
schplurg Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Cheap stuff from Walmart. Ozark Trail I think. $7 for both. Small bottles. The oil seems rather oily while the grease feels - greasy. 1 Quote
OnthePotomac Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Everyone who has gotten into cleaning their own reels has a favorite for oils and grease. Mine is: Yellow Rocket Fuel on SS spool bearings and handle bearings ReelX on the worm gear Shimano ACE2 (or Cal's) drag grease on drags and gears (I have also used Super Lube and Yamaha Blue Marine on gears in the past) Pinion, drive shaft and Xship bearings dipped in TSI301 1 Quote
