Hello, hoping to get some brush recommendations for general grease application.

Tried a few from Amazon and the bristles end up falling out, quite annoying having to stop and pick up bristles.

If anyone's got a brush they like please let me know, thanks.

Used (or new for that matter) toothbrush works pretty well.  I have two - one for scrubbing small parts (think gear teeth) and one for grease application. - john

I use the Testor larger size model paint brush. I started with a small Cabela's epoxy brush for a couple of years & it worked OK but I ran across a bigger Testor's so I tried it. It worked great. I've used that same brush for at least 15 years now.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Same here.  I do cut the bristles down about halfway on the Acid Brushes.

That stiffens them up well, I do it to about 1/2 of mine.

I use cheap artist brushes from Hobby Lobby.

For gears, I use my finger. Everything else I use a cotton swab.

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.

I use Harbor Freight acid brushes and fine artist brushes when I need more precise application.
