Quantum Hot Sauce Reel Grease

Guys,

I found some Ardent Reel Butter locally. Yellow grease stuff.

Any experience with this?

Regards,

Josh

The ardent butter and hot sauce grease are probably the only two greases I would never consider using again. The reel butter didn't like to stick on the gears at all in my experiences. After a few uses it was like the gears were completely dry, no film of grease left at all.

Go to ace hardware and get a tube of superlube and be done.

    Hello,

     

    No Ace Hardware around here.  I'll need to check at True Value, though.

     

    I was looking for my previous standby before I got to experimenting, which is Abu Garcia with PTFE.  The one place that has it locally was out... darnit.

    Penn was another I was looking at online.  When researching it, I could only find references to saltwater anglers packing their reels with it, so I skipped it.

    I've used it for decades with excellent results.

    I just ordered some Abu Garcia lube.  Might have to go back and order some Penn stuff now. 

     

    There is some stuff I used years ago that I really liked.  It was translucent, light blue, and really sticky.  Any idea what this is?
