Ultrasonic and grease

Featured Replies

I was wondering if anyone here can recommend a good brand ultrasonic cleaner for reel parts/bearings? I've used perfect solution as a de-greaser for years now but swishing bearings around in a solo cup gets old when you have 8-10 reels to clean.

 

Also, i pretty much have used shimano drag grease for all of my grease applications (drag, gears, worm gear) but after two days of searching I'm coming to terms I've lost my little container....or its still sitting in my ex-girlfriends living room..which is as good as lost lol.

 

TW is currently out of stock but i did come across another shimano grease on amazon...now it looks like it is designed for bearing applications on high end Bicycles. I figured i would ask if anyone here has tried it.

any input or thoughts is appreciated.

It seems I've heard more negative than positive on militec, I could be wrong but I don't think it's suggested for drag washers.

Abu silicote is a good reel grease. 

Either Yamaha Blue Marine Grease, or Super Lube on gears and Yellow Rocket fuel on bearings.  Shimano or Cal's drag grease.  Smoothdrag.com has Cal's drag grease. They have worked for me for 16 years.  Try CRC Electric Cleaner in a spray can (Walmart) to blast grease from bearings and reel parts. Evaporates fast, not corrosive, no residue and won't harm plastic.
