Hi Mark,

Sounds good mate - I'll drop you a line when I've finanlised flights and hopefully the timing works out!

Cheers   Dave

Duncan O'Connell:
Some of the things I have found beneficial - like luke says, a little grease around screws and cavities can be handy. I take my bail rollers out and soak the bearings in Protecta oil (most durable stuff I've come across for small bearing lubrication) then put a grease seal around the outside of the bearings for extra protection. The same works well for handle bearings as these cop some of the worst of it while out on the water.

Pete,
Inox is available in a little pump spay bottle which is ideal for travelling. Also Protecta is available in a needle nose oiler which is handy for travel too. We sell both of them - The Inox pump spray is $6.95 and the Protecta precision oiler is $9.95

Cheers

Duncan

Mate what silicon spray do you suggest when you are away on a trip..????

Can these put a coating over salt already sitting on a reel....then allowing the salt to cause damage underneath..???.....Or do they effectively break down and remove it..?

I use inox when I am at home but would be keen to know  a good spray to take away..?

Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete

Inox is fine but I find Ballistol better personally. On trips apply then wipe clean to assist removal of salt.

Also useful for serious anglers to keep a spare bail assembly, bearings, drag knob and drag stack in case of failure or loss.
