   In the saltheads' defense, many folks claim that keeps saltwater out of the reel. Actually, I'm not so sure it's true. I've seen many saltwater fishermen post pics of water trapped in that grease, also salt crystals after drying. All I know for sure...is the guy who casts and retrieves that reel all day must have arms like Schwarzenegger!

On the bright side, Tommy —

You might be able to remove and recycle that grease — you won't need to buy grease for another couple of years!

A lot of Mitchell 300's have this issue of a case full of grease — that is because Mitchell put that aluminum screw-off grease port at the rear of the housing — with instructions to keep pumping grease in there.

Best,

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Can you imagine what it would look like if they had put a zerk fitting instead?   :D  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
