Hi Alan,

I am new to your site, awesome site by the way. I tried to send messages and am having trouble so if you get more than 1 I apologize. I went to my local tackle shop and asked for drag grease and they gave me Daiwa reel greaser, it is a little accordion applicator filled with blue grease. They said they use in on drags for the reels they service. Can I use this product to grease my HT100s for my Penn Senators?

...... and daiwa should confirm that but i just called them and they are closed for the new year's day holiday.  the blue stuff is their saltwater resistant marine grease.  it is hydrocarbon based and is not intended for use on drag washers.  daiwa DOES have a teflon grease for their drag washers and it is NOT blue.  let your shop know.  they need to stick with cal's grease.  alan
