Alternative to Shimano Bantam Oil B-100 (For Vanquish 2024)

Featured Replies

Is there any good alternative oil to the Shimano Bantam B-100 out there?
I've been using Lucas Fishing Oil (the blue bottle with red cap from amazon) on my Vanford / Stradic Ci4 but dont know if its good enough or worth using it on the Vanquish 2024?
I can buy Shimano SSRO-01 Oil too is it better than Lucas?

 

PS: For grease i currently have Penn (the blue grease) but will be buying Shimano Grease ACE-0 (DG01)

 

Thank you

I use the oil currently made by Abu Garcia as a substitute for the bantam oil that used to come with the reels as I can get it at my local tackle shop.

 

it seems fine and I don't notice any difference. and it comes in a much bigger bottle. I use it on both my shimano baitcasters and spinning reels. 

 

its this one:
