I have MILTEC handy so I use it and it works well. I'm not sure how it compares to TSI 301.

D'oh.... Welcome aboard Mo. Do you "warm" the bearings too??
Most of my shop is not heated so I have to warm my grease gun and lube in the "office"/rod winding room before using it in the winter. I don't usualy warm up the bearings. |

OK just tried a wee experiment here, stripped out a 6500 rocket [awaiting parts to mag] and cleaned, then heated and lubed the bearing with miltec, back in oven [gas mk4!] till "warm" out, re lubed and refitted once cool, it's now matching my very quick, original green mag elite just about, sooo miltec seems to do the trick. Of course the important part is longevity so here's hoping once I get it magged I'll report back in time.
cheers for now and all the best
Mo.

no there's an idea. gently warm a grease so that if flows, drop a bearing in, let it cool and then pluck it out of the semi-solid grease. now the bearing is all nice and packed with grease! you guys are brilliant!

Alan, I can't take any responsibility for that warming idea, it's part of the instructions for applying miltec. What you are meant to do initially is apply the miltec as reqd, reassemble, shoot weapon until "hot" strip, clean, reapply miltec shoot again. Heat apparently allows it molecular whatever to happen quicker and last longer. However, being a Scot and the price of ammunition being what it is these days, the block goes into the oven at 60C and the rest gets warmed with a hairdrier, surprisingly effective too! cheers Mo.  |

Just brush a light coat is sufficient. If you put too much, you will notice that the grease is pushed away and the excess ends up in your sideplates...which will attract dirt, salt, etc.

If the reel is important to you, it's worth fixing.
If the reel catches fish, it's worth fixing.
And that is why we enjoy working on reels so much...it means something to someone.

I got this one from my dad. Its super tech marine grease, they come in three ounce cartridges and a three pack is 3 bucks, its the blue kind, works great and is cheap also comes with the smaller cartridges. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-Marine-Grease-14-oz/16928008The one in the link is the 14 ounce but just so you get a picture of it. |

Only problem is it turns black over time, and i found it seperates easily. Used it on a few reels, and it felt great, but oil kept leaking out from it, and it's not even hot out yet. I'd stick with the Yamaha/Evinrude for marine grease. JMHO Geoff |
