    Couple things to note here. First if you’re putting oil on sealed bearings that’s not going to do anything. Especially if the bearing seals are doing their job. You can carefully remove the covers once the bearing is removed. Second the main shaft doesn’t need oil

    Is it really a problem to lightly spray reel with hose as I always rinse rod as well ? I know high pressure nozzle is bad.

      Wouldn't hurt using on mist or shower lightly but more ideal just too wipe down to avoid corrosion over time, I tend to use metho on reels and rods removes salt well and dries instantly

    I went fishing a couple times and my reel was getting tough to spin. Before I went fishing again I checked it and it was very stiff.
    I just took off the tensioner and the handle and sprayed wd40 in there and around a few other spots. Worked right away. But I do see some people say it’s not good. I’m new to the whole fishing scene, so I didn’t know there was “reel oil”.
    But I guess I’ll have to get some now.

      Glad we could help! Most likely the reel will come greased up and ready to go. You won't have to maintain it for a while unless it gets dunked or beat up

    Side note...
    One of those silicone pistol cleaning mats serves as a great reel servicing mat. I use one with a few parts sections molded into it & some of the sections even have magnets that hold those tiny screws & shims quite well.

    I spray the reel with WD40 and wipe it down . The only time I use water is when I’m done fishing for the day or night . Then I take my garden hose with a spray nozzle on the end and stand the rod and reel up against the house or fence and give it a good spray then leave it dry out , it takes any salt deposits off .

    • @matty808pyro8

      You actually add microscopic mineral deposits using your home tap water unless you have a reverse osmosis or some kind of filtration system, which can grind up the gears on a microscopic level if penetrated enough.
      Im a car detailer, and I use ph neutral iron remover(salt and mineral remover) in a spray bottle undiluted, let soak in room temp distilled water in a bucket(washed and cleaned bucket). I actually wave it around in there and take em out immediately to dry. Then once it's dried I proceed to take it apart, and grease it up

    Never oil the shaft! That runs down into the anti-reverse bearing. If you get access oil in that bearing, the reel will reel both ways.

    Just so you know if you're watching this and wondering, NO, you can't just use WD-40. WD-40 is a DEGREASER, not a lubricant. It's amazing for getting stuck bolts out but that's not because it's lubricating anything, it's because it's penetrating into the bolt threads and breaking down the gunk that's preventing movement. If you used WD-40 on your reel, you need to take it back apart, completely dry everything off, bathe everything in scalding hot, near boiling water and let it sit for an hour, then remove it all and cover it all with real reel oil. You can theoretically use gun oil to lubricate a reel because that's a synthetic silicon based oil in most cases, which is a very robust lubricant, but you're not going to see the same results as something like a mineral oil. And of course, everything changes based on whether you're fishing in salt or fresh water.

      WD-40 is not a degreaser.

    • @TheGribbleNator
      @TheGribbleNator 7 месяцев назад +4

      ​@@kaseyzeltinger2735 The colloquial term you're attempting to nit-pick is irrelevant, the message remains the same: WD-40 is a penetrating solvent for displacing water, it is NOT a lubricant, and it will, in fact, degrease your reel if you tried applying reel grease to it.
      So while it is commercially not marketed or sold as a "Degreaser," it does perform that function.
      If this bothers you I don't know what to tell you.

    You never put oil on the shaft it stuffs with your anti reverse. My service and rod builder bloke who was head technician at daiwa told me never do that also daiwa incorporated his ideas into there rods and reels so he must know something. Just do the roller bearing the handle thats it unless your taking your reel apart
