And welcome mate.

Good to hear from the right side of the pond...welcome from the Sacramento Delta

Welcome....I too fish from a kayak. Make sure to grease all your bearings specially on avets fishing from a kayak, they don't like constant salt water abuse. I learned my lesson the hard way.

Welcome aboard AvetfanUK.

Thansk for the warm welcome Guys, And thanks for taking the time to dig those Avet posts out. So, Ive bought some Cals Light, And ive bought some Oust bearing oil

Could you please tell me a good brand of Marine grease that i could use please? When i strip me old Mitchell 300`s i just pack them full of general Silicon grease but i want to put the correct grease into my lovely, lovely Avets!

Any advise welcome

Thanks Chaps! 

aloha and thanks for joining.

Welcome!  Bob

Just need the grease now, Although i did just buy a lb of Cals light grease so im wondering if i can use this to grease the internals of teh reel as well as the drag?
