Penn reel grease

[sodakdave]

I penn reel grease ok for the temps out on the ice? or do I need to get something special?

I just use WD-40 or Marvel Mystery oil -- very small amount-- I think Penn will get to stiff in the cold weather for you. I have heard other say a reel lube called Hot Sauce but I have never used it

No, a forum member (fishyhole) convinced me to use TSI 321 oil, and its done some wonders to my open water reels so far, i redid some of my reels for ice fishing already, haven't used them in negative temps outside yet, but i can tell you its night and day difference at my work bench.

I've got good bearing oil (I believe it's a 321 oil) but I need a grease for the gears in my spinning reels (the oil doesn't last long there). I may just try to find some good cold temp moly grease or something.

I saw a couple of low temp lubes on the FishUSA website

I've used this sparingly with good results. It's like Brylcream, " A little dab will do Ya"

After servicing you’re reel, put it in the freezer for a few hours. That will tell you exactly how your reel will behave on the ice. I do it with all my reels but I use Quantum HotSauce. Works great.

So simple, but perfect idea!

true.. the freezer method will tell you if your reels will get stiff in the cold.i do not use any grease in my cold weather reels.i take them apart when new and clean out all the grease and put a few drops of liberty synthetic  oil on parts that need it.
