Location: Eau Claire, WI | I can only speak to Abu reels since that what I have run for the past 10+ years, I work on my own and repair them for a few local folks and have had good success with the following practices. I use grease very sparingly on the main drive gear and anti-reverse bearing only. Everything else I use a small amount of oil or Hot-sauce type lube.
During use I put a drop or two of oil on the worm-gear for the level wind. Other than that keep them clean, back your drag off when not in use and you should have reliable results.
Hope this helps a little. |
