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.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

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.
