It's good stuff but not for your drag washers.

I use the Penn Grease on the gears, all the screws and thumb screw threads and clicker. I use the Penn oil on the bushings, spool ends, dog and springs as well as the oil ports. I use Cal's grease on the drag washers. Everything I read says to use Cal's or Shimano drag grease only on the drag washers. There may be another I don't know about but the Penn grease isn't one of them. The Penn grease and oil will make that Jigmaster spin like mad.

Somewhere on here someone reported that penn uses penn grease on their drag washers. I've never done it, I've used Shimano drag grease for years and the Penn combo pack everywhere else.

got it on WalMart Clearance for $2.50 & it's great stuff...  just one complaint about the combo pack: STUPID SIZE/VOLUME!!!  the grease is almost gone, while the oil is barely touched -- I'll probably get the bigger tub of blue Penn grease & finish it, before the little bottle of oil is done.

what I got from Shimano w/ reels & old baitcaster Maintenance Kits was better proportioned & you can use their Drag Grease for everything

That combo pack is for a guy that has one or two reels. I buy my Penn Grease and Cal's by the pound tub.
Reel X for the Bearings. I'm still on my first lb tub of Cal's. Its just more economical to buy it this way. That tub of Cal's is going to last a long! time. I need to order another lb tub of the penn Blue. That will make my fifth one! :o The bigger Senators need a lot of grease! ;D

I also buy Cal's Grease & Penn Grease by the 1 lb. jar. I bought Cal's in a 1 oz. jar once, I was charged $8 for the jar on L.I. NY. That was the last time for that.
