Maintenance Recommendation
To keep your cast control system functioning smoothly and to prevent the threads from seizing over time, proper lubrication is vital.
-
For the Threads: Apply a light coat of Deuthlon Reel Grease. This provides a smooth "feel" when turning the knob and protects the threads from oxidation.
-
For the Internal Shim/Spool Shaft Tip: Use a drop of Deuthlon Reel Oil. This high-performance lubricant reduces friction between the spool shaft and the cap's internal pressure plate, allowing for a more consistent cast.
Why Replace Your Cast Control Cap?
The cast control cap is one of the most frequently adjusted parts on a baitcasting reel. Over time, the internal shims can compress, or the threads can become gritty due to salt and debris. If you find that your spool tension is "jumping" or is no longer holding its setting, it is time for a replacement. Installing a new Shimano 106BS cap restores that "factory-fresh" feel and gives you back total control over your presentation.
