Title: BioShield.
Post by: GF714 on January 20, 2010, 02:13:55 AM
Has anyone on this board ever used it and would anyone recommend it?  Where can it get some of it?  I googled it but i'm not sure it's the same stuff that i read on google.  I've read on other sites that they use it internal and external on their reels for corrosion protection, they say it protects the bare metal or graphite much better then grease (yamaha) and it's alot easier to clean up than the grease.  Thanks.

You may be thinking of boeshield (T9) instead.  IIRC it was made for Beoing for landing gear protection.  It is a parrifin wax based product intended for long term storage and rust protection.

I have not used it on reels but I think it would be great.

wax based sounds good for storage and long term protection, but i dont think it will do good for free spool times imho. aloha kamu

Sears has boeshield in the tool dept, it's expensive. Boeshield outside, grease and xtremereel+ inside. Boeshield goes on wet and dries to a tough, clear film. Double shaka on the penn 50 tutorial Kamu!
