F9 REEL LUBE, MEDIUM VISCOSITY

Product Description

Deuthlon F9 Reel Lube – Medium Viscosity (Generic Reel Lubricant)

Part Number: F9

Manufacturer: Deuthlon

Alternate Part Number: DEU-F9 (Mike's Reel Repair)

Product Overview

Deuthlon F9 Reel Lube is a high-performance, medium-viscosity lubricant engineered to bridge the gap between ultra-light casting oils and heavy greases. Often referred to as "Generic Reel Lube," this formula is designed as the ultimate all-purpose upgrade for the standard maintenance oil included in factory reel boxes.

Formulated with proprietary Dust-Shield™ technology and PTFE additives, F9 provides a protective barrier that actively repels dirt, sand, and salt while ensuring silky-smooth operation. Its medium viscosity ensures it stays in place on moving parts without slowing down the reel's retrieve, making it the ideal "daily driver" lubricant for 90% of fishing reel mechanisms.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dust-Shield™ Technology: Creates a polarized layer that repels dust, sand, and grit, preventing the abrasive "grinding" feel that develops in reels over time.

• Medium Viscosity Formula: Perfectly balanced to provide the fluidity of oil for penetration with the staying power of grease. It does not fly off high-speed parts or emulsify easily.

• Saltwater Corrosion Defense: Contains rust-dissolving agents and corrosion inhibitors, making it excellent for saltwater spinning and baitcasting reels.

• PTFE Enriched: Polytetrafluoroethylene additives bond to metal surfaces to reduce friction and noise, effectively acting as "liquid ball bearings."

• Rust Solvent: Capable of dissolving existing surface rust on steel bearings and shafts, potentially restoring seized components.

Technical Specifications

Models & Applications

This part is a Universal Fit lubricant compatible with all major fishing reel brands, including Shimano, Daiwa, Penn, Abu Garcia, Okuma, and Lew's.

Recommended Application Points:

• Baitcasting Reels: Level wind worm gears, handle knobs, frame bearings, and clutch mechanisms.¹¹

• Spinning Reels: Main shaft, line roller bearings (if not sealed/MagSealed), handle pivot points, and bail arm mechanisms.

• General Use: Any sliding metal-on-metal or rolling contact points that require protection without the heavy drag of grease.

Note: For High-Speed Spool Bearings (Casting), Deuthlon Cast Lube (Low Viscosity) is recommended. For Drag Washers, use Deuthlon Power Drag Grease.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

1. Clean First: For best results, degrease old oil and dirt from the part using a reel cleaner or solvent before applying F9.

2. Less is More: The medium viscosity is highly efficient; a single drop is often sufficient for bearings and shafts.

3. Saltwater Care: After saltwater use, a light coating of F9 on external moving parts (like the handle and bail wire) acts as a sacrificial barrier against corrosion.

Tech Tip: If your reel feels "gritty" or stiff, applying F9 to the bearings and working it in can often dissolve the internal oxidation and restore smoothness without a full part replacement.
