    This may sound like a really dumb question, but would graphite make a good reel “lube”?
    I am thinking not because of the water contact, as well as dust etc. But I really don’t know.
    It can do some amazing stuff but not sure if it is good in this application?
    Thoughts?

    I have used it, but not a big fan

    just when I have time in the cold months

    mayB a year or even three, depends on use

    I take them apart and do a clean lube job

    Works 4 me

    Had some reels 4 over 20 years

    I hate 2 say really,

    It’s tough when your reels might b older then your kids

    I wouldn’t suggest it.. I don’t think it will “coat” or “hold” like it should, plus I feel it is somewhat abrasive…. I would get some hot sauce
