If your spinning reel is feeling weird to you. Got some tightness that you don’t like, you may simply need to lube your spinning reel to get it smooth as butter. First, I’m going to show you my basic way that requires no tools and is a maintenance function for me. I do this periodically throughout the year when needed and it only takes a few minutes. My advanced lubrication that I do around once a year where I take a deep dive into the gearing and break out the grease and it can get involved and requires some tools. Enjoy Basic and Advanced Way to Lubricate a Spinning Reel and let me know if you have any questions. -Daren

    Thanks for the awesome information, Jim.
  • @johnburrows5535
    Thank you so much for this lesson! I have owned spinning reels for decades and never oiled/greased them. This has inspired me to do it and do it right!👍
  • @bidkid2020
    Enjoyed the video thanks a lot of good information
  • @kdgg005
    If I dive into the guts of the reel then I'm taking all the parts out and cleaning them before i put new grease and oil in there. There's also a bearing in the front of the reel where the brass worm drive and spool shaft go through. I use the Lew's brand products and they work well also.
  • Instead of using that screwdriver to apply the grease , I use a Q tip , it works very well, better then metal to metal .

    Thanks for the video. Helped me out a lot. I bought a used rod and reel. The reel was not smooth. Bought the oil and grease you use in this video and it’s so much smoother now. Haven’t tried it out but it is smoother. Thanks again.

    Hey: Too much grease is as bad as not enough. If you overload the grease, it just attracts dust and dirt. Keep it light. There IS such a thing as TOO much.More is not necessarily better. Thanks for letting me rant.:<)))) God bless: Dave
  • @Moondog9322
    Dumb question....is it possible to do this while fishing line is still on the reel? Once you remove the drag and spool, you should be good to go, yes? Great video....very informative! liked and subbed.

    I've used the Lucas oil for years is very impressive stuff for out door's activities. 🧐 One battle in each bag just in case someone might need some good stuff for 🎣 and 🔫 Lucas better than WD-40 for heat and stress areas.
  • I never did mine before I’ll be doing this as soon as I get that oil and grease
  • @eaglespetty
    There's 2 bearings inside the knob on the handle as well.
  • I wish I had run across this video a couple weeks earlier. Great advice on how to take care of spinning reels! I have oiled mine in the past, probably not as frequently as I needed to, but have never greased the gears as you have shown here. Thanks for a great informative video!!
