I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Top pinion gear frozen. Bottom pinion gear broken. Main gear broken.

My reel doesn't feel right!!

Nice work mate.

I just did a brand new FK series Stradic that got run over by a car lol.

What model was this reel and what grease is that you are using?

I say forty plus years.  Good job Keith.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

The grease is Super Lube full synthetic with PTFE.

I used it in my offshore spinning reels and it's working well. I started out using it in small Ambassaduer reels and after a year they come back still clean inside.

Keith is a miracle worker! This isn't his first miracle either.  ;D  He has a great reputation here for good reason.  Bob
