    What reel lubricants “ oil/grease “ are you using?

    Years ago I purchased some quantum Hot sauce oil and grease. I remember there was some stuff called Ardent reel butter but have not seen any in a while.

    I’m looking for suggestions on good oil for bearings that comes with a needle on the cap applicator.

    Yellow Rocket fuel for bearings.
    Cal's for drag washers.
    Penn Reel grease or Super lube Synthetic for gears.

    Practice, practice and more practice, and if you think you're good practice some more (Cadman circa2006)

    I used the Ardent Reel Butter on a noisy baitcaster (spool bearings) at the start of last year, used the reel all season, quiet and longer casts as well. Shimano reel oil works well and you don't need to use a lot of it either.

    For those using oils that don’t come with a fine needle point applicator. What are you using for the oiling application?

    I've used ABU oil and grease for a very long time,the oil bottle has an applicator like a nipple,very easy to put a drop where you need it.
