Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Reel Lube Suggestions

Conor,

   I have found that Phil Wood Waterproof Grease for bikes works great to keep sand and such out of fly reels.  Today's reels have bearings and drag assemblies that are much better sealed than 20 years ago but the spool still turns on a shafts that is usually exposed to ingesting sand if dropped.  A good blob on the spindle and into the spool usually prevents sand intrusion but is a little messy if you change spools often.  You can often pick this up at bike shops but I am sure amazon prime would bring you some.  The stuff stays in the reel so good that one tube is a lifetime supply.

Any suggestions on brands or types of reel lube? 

Shamefully, I've never owned the stuff and it looks like there are a lot of options out there. Ideally it's a universal lube (if that's even a thing) for all types of reels, not just fly reels. 

Thanks,

Connor
