Maintenance Recommendation
When opening your reel to replace the side plate, it is the ideal time to perform a full service. For the best results with vintage Mitchell gears, we highly recommend:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply to the main gear and pinion for a high-load carrying capacity that stays put even in extreme temperatures.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Use a drop on the handle bearings and spool shaft to ensure a low-friction, lightning-fast cast.
