Preparation for Lubrication

Before applying PENN Reel Oil and Lube, ensure your fishing reel is clean and free of old grease, dirt, and saltwater residue. Proper preparation is crucial for the effectiveness of the new lubricants.

1. Disassembly: Carefully disassemble your fishing reel according to its manufacturer's instructions. Pay close attention to all moving parts, gears, and bearings.
2. Cleaning: Use a suitable reel cleaner or a mild solvent to remove all traces of old lubricant, dirt, and corrosion. Ensure all components are thoroughly cleaned and dried before proceeding.
3. Inspection: Inspect all parts for wear or damage. Replace any worn components before reassembly and lubrication.

Application Instructions

Apply the oil and grease sparingly and precisely to ensure optimal performance without over-lubrication.

Applying Reel Oil

• Apply a small drop of PENN Precision Reel Oil to high-speed components.
• Target areas include ball bearings, worm gears, line rollers, and handle knobs.
• The oil is formulated for smooth operation and to protect against rust in these critical areas.

Applying Reel Grease

• Apply PENN Precision Reel Grease to main gears, drag washers, and other moving parts that require a thicker lubricant.
• Use the integrated brush (if available) or a small applicator to ensure an even, thin coat.
• This grease provides superior lubricity, water stability, load-carrying capacity, and corrosion protection.

Important: Avoid over-lubrication, as this can attract dirt and hinder performance. A thin, even coat is sufficient for effective lubrication and protection.

Routine Maintenance

Regular maintenance with PENN Reel Oil and Lube will extend the life and performance of your fishing reel. Consistent care is essential, especially after exposure to harsh conditions.

• After Each Use: Especially in saltwater environments, rinse your reel with fresh water and allow it to dry completely.
• Periodic Inspection: Periodically inspect and re-lubricate components as needed. This typically applies after several fishing trips or if you notice any stiffness, grinding, or unusual noise during operation.
• Storage: Before storing your reel for extended periods, ensure it is clean and adequately lubricated to prevent corrosion and maintain readiness for future use.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter issues with your reel's performance after lubrication, consider the following:

• Stiff Reel Operation: If the reel feels stiff or sluggish after lubrication, it may be over-greased or require further cleaning. Disassemble, clean, and reapply lubricants sparingly.
• Grinding Noises: Grinding noises often indicate insufficient lubrication or the presence of dirt/debris. Clean the affected parts thoroughly and re-lubricate. Ensure all bearings and gears are properly seated.
• Corrosion: While PENN lubricants offer excellent corrosion protection, extreme conditions or improper application can lead to corrosion. Ensure all metal parts are adequately covered with a thin, even layer of grease or oil, especially after saltwater exposure.
• Inconsistent Drag: If your drag system is not performing consistently, ensure the drag washers are clean and properly greased with PENN Precision Reel Grease.
