What is the best lubricant to use on the worm shaft of a round baitcaster like a Luna or Abu?

I've found TSI321 is the best. Followed by ReelX or CorrosionX.

Thanks. Are those anything like "3 in 1" oil in consistency? That's what I'm using now.

They are thinner then 3in1. Better quality & designed for the job..

G'day nelz,
I'm yet to try the TSI products (they're not available in NZ), but have used ReelX/CorrosionX a lot - good products, no doubt.
However, I find Inox MX3 to be of comparable quality and much better value.
It's also 'food grade', so leaves no toxic residues on the line etc, which is a key benefit in my view.
Cheers, Justin

3 in 1 will turn to varnish over time.
