Spinning reel lubricant

Fishermen, accustomed to catching spinning, sometimes have at their disposal several favorite gear. As you know, for any mechanism or device you must carefully look after and do constant prevention. Especially when it comes to the inertia-free coil (inertia in the modern fishing world is used much less often). So, there is at least one decent coil to look after, because it is exposed during fishing to the open effect of the forces of nature: wind, rain, snow. And it is also possible for water and sand to penetrate into the mud if, for example, they drop a tackle into the water or onto a sandbank. This is where you need a good lubricant for the coil.

Preliminary information

I must say that many anglers are not too worried about such prevention. And completely in vain! Lubrication for the coil - as for any technological mechanism - is needed constantly. Not only that at least once a season, according to the rules, it is necessary to disassemble, clean from clogging and properly lubricate. Some unscrupulous manufacturing companies (oh, these Chinese, and indeed not only them) allow in the mechanism a minimum factory grease. Then, eventually, having dismantled such a product of fishing art, you find out that there is practically dry inside and there is no lubrication for the coil (the tackle has already started to creak and crackle, there was a specific growling sound during operation). Therefore, we immediately disassemble and lubricate the details. This will greatly prolong the time for active fishing, and at the same time will calm the nerves of the fisherman (since these extraneous sounds of some are very unsettling).

About the benefits of prevention

It's not even clear why many fishermen, even experienced, avid ones, neglect this process (especially many of them are also motorists, and they already know about the importance of prevention and lubrication in time). If the coil several seasons quite actively passed without appropriate preventive procedures, when disassembling it is clearly visible and black dried out from time lubrication, and the sprockets of the gear teeth, and personally watch the difficult move.

What lubricant for fishing reels is suitable?

Actually, we need two types of lubrication: thick and liquid. For gears apply viscous that it did not flow out during active work of tackle. And for a roller of a wood-depositor - liquid, so that it would go well. Everything would seem very simple. But in the market there are many options, and not any lubricant for the coil can come up for certain. Of the most popular among the fishing fraternity options: Litol, Ciatim - as a thick grease. And as liquid - ordinary motor oil (especially if the fisherman is also a motorist, it is always at hand). By the way, for some reason it is not recommended to use a molybdenum grease of a bluish color, but the one used for the transmission is suitable. It is said that it has been tested by experience: mechanisms can go up to 7-10 years, if a similar lubricant for coils is used. Reviews about it are very positive among fishermen actively practicing spinning. Some also advise the automobile SHRUS-4. And if fishing constantly occurs on the seas, then - special marine (AMC-1 or MZ, for example), specially designed for salt media. Yes, and do not forget before carefully lubricating the coil, clean it thoroughly from possible dirt and sand, which has aged lubricant. And if you get water - dry it.
