Location: Yahara River Chain | try cleaning it before you grease oil whatever. The dirt is causing the wear not lack of lube. |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | I use Ceramic Pawls in all my reels, and I think they work very well. The key is U must keep the worm gear clean. If U grease the worm gear, the grease will hold dirt and sand and the worm gear will wear out fast if not keep clean. I use a thick oil on my worm gears, like Super-Lube or I will mix a 50/50 mix of Hot Sauce oil and grease. But I have to reoil my worm gear once a week of hard fishing. |

wow pikemaster you only have to oil once a week with hard fishing! I have to oil the crap out of mine every time out, I have quite a few c3's and I go through them with all of them even a new one does not last long. I use the oil they give you and it does not last long and it's running dry right away it seems. |

| Not sure why you guys are putting lube on your worm gears at all. Most reel techs I talk to suggest running them "dry" but keeping 'em clean. Anyhow I'm getting some ceramic pawls for my reels based on good reports from others who have had positive results. |
