Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To maintain smooth oscillation and maximize the life of your drag system, we highly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during installation:
-
Drag System: Apply Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease (or a dedicated drag grease) to the internal drag washers. This ensures a smooth, non-stick drag engagement even under the high temperatures generated during long runs.
-
Spool Shaft: Lightly coat the main spool shaft with Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease to prevent corrosion and ensure the spool moves freely during line retrieval.
-
Clicker Mechanism: Use a drop of Deuthlon Cast Lube on the spool clicker to keep the alarm audible and prevent salt buildup from seizing the spring.
Deuthlon’s advanced synthetic formulas provide superior protection against saltwater corrosion and won't break down like standard lubricants.
