| I use cal's universal drag and reel grease. I use the "light" one. it is purple. Great stuff, people who really know reels use it often. I like it because it works well everywhere grease is appropriate including the drag discs.
For oil I will use different stuff, I feel most anything out there will do well for a musky reel. If I have nice bearings in a smaller the reel and really want it to fly then I will use lightening lube High Speed Oil. |

Location: mercer wi | I use abu's oil. I don't grease my reels. I take reels in every year or other year, depending on use. It a thin line of over greasing. |

WD40
Never use WD40 for a lube. It is a lube remover (so good for cleaning) but provides very poor lubrication itself. It basically strips the last bit of old lube off of parts and leaves them unprotected.
*ps and never use it on plastic parts. |

Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | I use Reel Butter, both grease and oil. On the other hand, my dad has been using 3-In-1 Oil, and Vaseline on his reels for more than sixty years.
