Hi,
Just wondering what everyone prefers and why? Or what has not worked so good for that matter? I am intereseted in lubing up my reels with something a little better than the conventional lube and was thinking about either quantum hot sauce, rocket fuel XS, liquid grease, or Red label. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I bought some rocket feul red label this year, I LIKE IT. It dosen't seem to break down like other oils do. Also good spool control.

Been using Rocket Fuel yellow, switched to Hot Sauce oil for the bearings and their grease for the gears. The long needle spout on the oil makes it "the kind" for lubin on the fly.

Where applicable, I've been using Gunslick. If it can lubricate all the moving parts on all of my semi-autos, why not my reels?
So far, no problems. Slicker than snot on a glass door knob.

"Rocket Fuel", "Hot Sauce", "Needle Spout", "Lubin on the Fly"...All in one short paragraph. Am I the only one who noticed?
Too much info RAZE1


Been thinkin' about some of those goodies? Are they worth the cash? Coincidentally I also use Gunslick.

Sorry Lobi, I just checked the label, turns out to be 3 in 1 oil.
