Just anyone's thoughts on a great grease for lubing the gear set....

My current favorite grease is the cheap auto parts store moly grease. It is petroleum based but it seems to stay in the gearing well and does a better job of smoothing out the gear mesh vs some of the non-moly lubes (synthetic included). I may step up and get a synthetic moly lube but right now i'm happy with my 4 dollar a pound stuff.

When i asked Sonoda about it, he said to me:

Hi Alex,
For oil, Shimano Bantam Oil is the regular product for the reel, and it is recommended.
For grease, I recommend DG-10 or 06. DG-10 is the most protective grease among Shimano greases, and I put it to most reels, but I put a little lighter 06 when I want to reduce dragging.

I listened to an experienced person and pleased with the choice.

I used to use SuperLube and now use Yamaha blue marine grease on the gears. It works very well as did SuperLube.

I use the Daiwa blue grease on all my reels. My Shimano reels have not mysteriously combusted as of yet

X2 on the Yamaha blue grease here. I use it on gears and all appropriate bearings. It slows things down a bit, but makes a real super smooth. I fish 95% salt water and have had absolutely no corrosion issues with very little maintenance after initially servicing.
