Frog Lube

[Tom McKinney]

Anybody else use frog lube on reels?  It's a gun lube that is also a cleaner and protectant.  You heat the metal to just about 100 degrees, apply and let cool, then wipe off the excess. Seasons it into the metal.  Was thinking it would be great inside a Mitchell spinner instead of grease

Any thoughts?

Only caution I would have is that the alloys in your reel might not like getting heated? Really I have no idea one way or the other but just being complete. I do assume that not being extremely hard like most gun parts they may not tolerate much heat.

Anyways, no need to re-invent the wheel but no reason not to try it on a reel that is not precious to you. Light greases like Penn grease are excellent if you go the traditional route.

I saw the title and thought "Why? The little devils are slippery enough already."
