Re: Super Lube

Good for you, Mike. Keep us posted on the progress, and let Barry & I know what you think of Super Lube. I swear by that stuff. I've got some completely serviced reels that haven't been used in 5 or 8 years and with 10 turns of the crank forwards and backwards they work like they were just lubed yesterday.

Superlube clear grease???

Yep. http://www.super-lube.com/synthetic-multipurpose-grease-ezp-49.html

I don't do salt water or casting reels but it's the best thing I've ever found for freshwater spinning reels. Don't know why it wouldn't excel in casting reel applications, too.

   Hey fellas, I don't see it mentioned on the link Tommy provided, but on the tube I bought it says "impervious to salt water and road salt". It's a full synthetic grease, does not contain silicone, compatible with other lubes, food grade, and has absolutely no odor. That's a lot of pluses.

Mo & Tommy,

LUV Super Lube, been using it on my Mitchell Garcia 308 for 20+ years and the stuff is slicker than a baby's green nose snot!!!!

I also use it on door hinges, door locks, and any place metal rubs against metal.

I don't think so but 400gr is similar to 5 3oz tubes.

My tube says that on the back, too. Not sure why they don't post that on that page but it is listed on their SDS.

Ive used this grease on many small spinning reels. The grease will turn dark quickly but it works great. Super slippery. Good hair gel..

Hmmm?.......Interesting? I've never had it actually turn dark. I have had it take a little color if all the old residue wasn't completely removed but never really had it turn dark, even after 5 or 10 years. It will draw old oil out of brass or bronze parts like gears and main shafts, though, even if they've been buffed and are spotless.

I've been playing with a similar British product:

https://www.smithandallan.com/products/industrial-grease/4640-smith-and-allan-teflube-plus-2-grease/

I have used it on everything including drags - it's been working fine. It stays where you put it - unlike some greases. Also it doesn't seem to leach oil as some greases do.
I had been using Mercury Quicksilver 2-4-C but that split over time if not used. The last price increase convinced me to change.

Time will tell but I'm very pleased with it at the moment

Chris, are you referring to the grease separating? Not sure I am following your thoughts.

[nelz]

Is this a better alternative to Yama lube?

[Hardy Boy]

I have been using the super lube grease on drag washers in reels for over two years now including guide reels. It has worked well and has performed just fine and has never broke down even with heavy use. The performance has been good and the reels look great year after year. I started using it on a recommendation from a large reel repair business and they have been using it for years on guide reels. Its easier and cheaper for use to get here in Canada also. I also use the super lube oil on the cork drags on mooching reels.

Sticky = what?

I opened up a reel and the grease was like glue, what is the purpose of being sticky? s
