On the look out for sticky reel grease
Hi all,
I don't know about you but I have yet to find a good reel grease that keeps sticking on the gears. I have been using a combination of different greases over the years and all seem to have the same problem.
After a couple of outings there are just not sticking to the gears and the gears start to feel geary again.
Especially my Shimanos suffer from this problem.
Wondering if anybody has some advice for some really good and sticky reel grease.
My Daiwa Morethan's had some super sticky grease, but I was not able to track this type of grease down.
Greases that I have tried so far:
* Shimano Reel Grease: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Shimano ... -SHRG.html
* Super Lube: https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-92003 ... 490&sr=8-3
* F-Zero Pro Grease Medium: https://zpi-japan.com/products/F-zero.html
Thanks for your recommendations!

Youtube advisor guy has a vid about a lube he uses that sticks real well to gears.
Re: On the look out for sticky reel grease
Yamalube marine grease is pretty sticky stuff. I use that on all of my gears.

Do you mean this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oLnEKAl9QQ ?
THat is a bit too chewing gum for me. Will be a night mare when cleaning a reel.
Does anybody know what Daiwa uses in their latest Morethan reels?
Thanks!

Re: On the look out for sticky reel grease
This works very well and stays put, hot or cold.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I don't remember. I thought the vid I saw a while ago was about gear grease.freelancer27 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 5:33 pmDo you mean this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oLnEKAl9QQ ?

I use the Shimano DG04. Sticks well.
Re: On the look out for sticky reel grease
The Reel Butter Grease and Daiwa Space Age Reel Grease are two of the thickest/stickiest that I have tried over the decades. I didn't like either because they cause a lot of resistance.
Re: On the look out for sticky reel grease
Shimano recommends their ACT 2 drag grease for their micro gears and Cal's is about the same.

Re: On the look out for sticky reel grease
I'm a fan of Deuthlon ceramic gear grease
Re: On the look out for sticky reel grease
Another good one is Evinrude Triple Guard, even stickier than Yamalube.
