  • If your spinning reel is feeling weird to you. Got some tightness that you don’t like, you may simply need to lube your spinning reel to get it smooth as butter. First, I’m going to show you my basic way that requires no tools and is a maintenance function for me. I do this periodically throughout the year when needed and it only takes a few minutes. My advanced lubrication that I do around once a year where I take a deep dive into the gearing and break out the grease and it can get involved and requires some tools. Enjoy Basic and Advanced Way to Lubricate a Spinning Reel and let me know if you have any questions. -Daren

    Thank you so much for this lesson! I have owned spinning reels for decades and never oiled/greased them. This has inspired me to do it and do it right!👍

      Take a can of WD40 once in a while and spray your rod and reel , line and all thoroughly, then take a garden hose and rinse it off and place it in the sun till it drys . It will keep it clean and free of corrosion if you fish salt water .

    Instead of using that screwdriver to apply the grease , I use a Q tip , it works very well, better then metal to metal .

    Thanks for the video. Helped me out a lot. I bought a used rod and reel. The reel was not smooth. Bought the oil and grease you use in this video and it’s so much smoother now. Haven’t tried it out but it is smoother. Thanks again.

      eventually u have to clean it out, but id venture an average angler would do it once a year, before the big season they like to fish. doing yourself is easy enough but a professional can do it once a year no pain

    I've used the Lucas oil for years is very impressive stuff for out door's activities. 🧐 One battle in each bag just in case someone might need some good stuff for 🎣 and 🔫 Lucas better than WD-40 for heat and stress areas.

  • @Moondog9322
    @Moondog9322 Před 2 měsíci +4

    Dumb question....is it possible to do this while fishing line is still on the reel? Once you remove the drag and spool, you should be good to go, yes? Great video....very informative! liked and subbed.

  • @kdgg005
    @kdgg005 Před 4 měsíci +3

    If I dive into the guts of the reel then I'm taking all the parts out and cleaning them before i put new grease and oil in there. There's also a bearing in the front of the reel where the brass worm drive and spool shaft go through. I use the Lew's brand products and they work well also.

    Hey:
    Too much grease is as bad as not enough. If you overload the grease, it just attracts dust and dirt. Keep it light. There IS such a thing as TOO much.More is not necessarily better. Thanks for letting me rant.:

    • @wendellfishing
      @wendellfishing  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Hey boss, I imagine that the "Grease Spray" sprays like a liquid but congeals like a grease. I have never had my hand on those cans before but as long as you can direction the spray to where you want it to go specifically you should be good to go. Remember, Gears Get Grease... Oil the rest IMO
