Reel Lube

Postby Rockstar Fisherman » March 7th, 2019, 9:18 am

Hey guys, I've got an ongoing perpetual problem, my reels are always in desperate need of some lubricant that I never take the time to purchase let alone use.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Mike

I just use a drop or two of 5w30 motor oil. Works for me!

My second choice would be Rem Oil. I use it on my guns....especially my semi-autos.

Three in One also works, but it is a very lightweight oil and seems to breakdown during the summer.

Regards,

Jeff

I have some old Loon stuff I use. It's pretty cool.
