I see and I agree with you too, but they do have some good tackle knowledge.

They care more about the tackle than the act of fishing.  

I respect people that have done better and a hell of more than me....Cal, Zander, ChuckE and mhood are on my  list!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I agree, they (TT crew) know their stuff.

Back on topic though. Hot sauce is the best domestic grease and oil imo. I tried Ardent in my Zillion but didnt care for it. I really like the Daiwa special Red oil and Friction Zero as well. However I just use Hot Sauce in all my reels including me Steez. It adheres well and lasts long. One drop per bearing is all you need any more can actually hinder performance expecially on ceramics.

I think I'll listen to David Green and stick with the Reel Mechanic's advise. If he says Hot Sauce sucks, that's good enough for me. David services my reels (cleaning lubrication and internal grease) and for exterior lubrication, I use his oil only.
