cal's grease alternative !!

[mohamedhashem21]

hello every body
i'm very pleased to find such a website
i live in Egypt  i'v been fishing for 15 years now i can do most of my reel repair and i've learned too much from this site thanks to Mr. Alan  but i have one problem which is lubricating the drag washers (of wet drag reels of course) i own a penn senator 9/0 , okuma cavalla 50wii , okuma solterra 50w  and penn iternational 80   and i need to grease their drag washers but in egypt we don't have cal's grease and it is very hard to buy it through the internet  and ship it to here
so anyone can me an alternative solution or whait is the formula of cal's grease (sodium,graphite or whatever)
thank u all

G'day and welcome Mohamed,
Cal's etc are types of Teflon or PTFE grease.
A local retailer (or bike shop) will likely have some type of PTFE grease which should do the trick.
Good luck, Justin

Salam alaikum, Mohamed.  I lived in Cairo for 7 months in 1975.  I loved the experience.  The Egyptian people treated me very warmly. Welcome to Alan's worldwide site.  Dominick

Shimano drag grease is a  good substatute.

The PTFE isn't the only requirement. Go to this site and look at posts 16, 22, 25, and 28, especially 25 and 28.

Fair call - though if isolated or far flung, PTFE will suffice

Hi Mohamed

If you can find Super lube http://www.super-lube.com/products-ezp-285.html it is a great product.

Synthetic/Teflon based grease and oil. I have been using the Multi grease on drags and it works very well...slightly thicker than Cal's but very good and it is also cheaper.

i have shipped to egypt without problems.  please send me an e-mail after august 3rd to alantani@yahoo.com with your address and i will get some out to you.
