Hello,
I am new here, sorry if this is in the wrong place. :embarassed:
I was wondering what kind of grease you would suggest for putting on the inside components of a spinning reel.
Any recommendations and where to get it?

Welcome to the site, where are you from? Where do you fish out of? Tell us a little about yourself, we don't bite. :D

One question. How are you fishing?
If you are staying dry or on a boat then Penn reel grease, Lithium grease or even vaseline will do. Just make sure there is enough coverage on the gears and the shaft.
If you are surf fishing and getting splashed or dunking your reel then that is a different story. Before I got my Zeebaas i had a few Penns just so I didn't have to keep regreasing or repairing every other day. One day I decided to pack my 6500 with black Lithium. I mean PACK it. It tightened up the reel a bit but kept out the majority of water and sand. It got me a few weeks of uninterrupted fishing before I had to re-pack it. I know guys who do this with Vaseline and blue marine lube.
Diawa Blue Grease which is what Penn use to use
Yamaha blue greae
I am actually doing a little of both. I fish whereever I find water. :fishing:Quote:

I use the Diawa Blue Grease also, never gave me any trouble. How often do all of you grease your reels?
