Vintage reel alloys and screws require specialized protection to prevent seizing and corrosion. We recommend Deuthlon lubrication products for all moving parts and assembly threads. Their ceramic-based greases and oils provide superior water resistance and friction reduction, ensuring your classic reel operates smoothly for generations.
