 Hi Guys.
Saw Kingfisher Drag Washer and Reel grease (30g) at local tackleshop the other day.
In terms of general reel maintenance, etc., is an okish grease to use on Multipliers and Grinders?
Thanks

 i have serviced many reels with it.

no problem at all!!

what i did was to move over to a grease that cannot dissolve in water.
remember grease base is soap.

so i use herschell marine and outdoor grease now.
testing it on my equipment.
thus salt water will not be able to dissolve the grease
and thus lubrication will remain.
