I followed the advice and tips I got from you guys on my previous post. Sure glad I asked first. Now I have a new question. I want to say first, I have already lubed and re-installed the bearings. Could hardly believe the difference. I used Reel Butter. What is your opinion on that. I know I'm asking after the fact, but would still like your recommendations for future referrence.

You can't go wrong with Reel Butter IMO. It lasts, and it's not overly thick so it was a good choice. When I have to tear down my Revo SX I'm gonna use some, or maybe try some Quantum Hot Sauce as I've heard great things about that stuff.

Reel Butter is a good light lube almost the same viscosity as Hot Sauce minus the annoying red dye. I don't see buying anything else until that's used up.

Glad to hear that DVT, and thanks for your help a few days ago when I PM'd you.

P.S. Thanks to all you guys for all your tips and suggestions. This site is a virtual bass fishing college.

I'd stick with Reel Butter oil, and leave the hot sauce alone. Nothing really wrong with hot sauce oil. It simply stains everything. If you want to try something a little faster, try Ardent's bearing oil. It's a little thinner and a little faster than their Reel Butter oil. That also means you will have to apply it a little more often.

For a slick, fast, top-shelf lube that will last all season try some TSI 321.
