Loon Outdoors Reel Lube is a specialized lubricant designed for fly fishing reels, helping to maintain smooth operation and protect against wear, corrosion, and saltwater damage. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
– Synthetic Formula: Long-lasting, non-greasy lubrication that won’t attract dirt or grit.

How to Use:
1. Clean the Reel: Remove old grease/dirt with a reel cleaner (like Loon’s Reel Clean).
2. Apply Sparingly: Add a small drop to moving parts (spindle, bearings, gears, drag system).
3. Work It In: Rotate the reel to distribute the lubricant evenly.
4. Wipe Excess: Avoid over-application to prevent buildup.
