Title: Corrosion X
Post by: FDFisherman on January 07, 2011, 02:10:51 PM
First time poster.  great site and very informative.

I'm looking for corrosion X to lube my reel parts as per Alan's advise.  I searched online and see a couple different ones.  Can anyone post a pic or link to the one that is used for reels?  Thanks in advance,

The 1oz Reel X bottle is small and handy to work with. I think Alan and most other "bulk" users but the 16oz Corrosion X with trigger pump and refill those small ReelX bottles (cause it's more economical that way).

Hope that helps.

Thanks Dan, so is Reel-X the same as Corrosion X?

They are not the same; similar, but not identical.
Here's a link to info direct from the makers of ReelX and CorrosionX.

Hope this helps you decide.

welcome!  i started using corrosion x at the recommendation of my local shop and still continue to use it as my all purpose oil.  been very happy with it.  the price is an issue because i go through so much.  that's why i use corrosion x instead of reel x.

You can get a 4oz bottle of CorrosionX for guns that comes in a nice bottle with a fine tip. CorrosionX for guns is just CorrosionX in a easy to use applicator bottle.
