after a total of > 200 yrds run, it seems that LSD is an alternative to THE "grease". i caught a few "pirararas" last week and it gave my 750SS some good workout. also we're having some pretty hot (90's) days here. but wait let me test it some more on bigger fish.

also this lube is rated 80W 140. the warmer the CF washers get the more viscous they get. probably this property is excellent for very hot days.

discalimer: i'm not a rocket scientist or an engineer but real world tests are what counts not tests in a controlled environment.   ;) ;D
