Title: Stella greased bearings
Post by: the_clairvoyant on June 10, 2013, 04:43:22 PM
Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum, have learnt alot reading thru the tutorials, loads of useful information there...

I've noticed many people packing their bearings with grease, I can understand the need to protect against corrosion, however I love Stellas for their buttery smooth retrieve, wouldn't greasing the bearings ruin that experience?

Thanks Alan, yea I guessed as much, perhaps I'll just stick to corrosion X for the bearings, and maintain them regularly......
