Best oil for your reels
Submitted by Kev on Sun, 2008-12-14 16:54
Like to hear what oil/ grease you use to lubricate your reels with?
Would regular stuff do the trick just as well?
How often would you oil them to keep them in tip top shape?
Thanks
Kev

I service all my own reels
I service all my own reels and have been using daiwa oil's for as long as i can remember and so far no complaints from me. As for greases i use cal grease for most of my reels and drag.
As for how often i service my reels it all depends on what type of reels. I service my saltiga's probably once every season simply because they are totally sealed and well protected from the elements. On other reels probably every 3 months or so depending on how often i use them.
