Guy, I've heard the exact same thing from numerous sources, Hot Sauce is nothing more than repackaged ATF fluid. I've been using KG Industries Trigger Oil in the bearings of my casting reels and I've found that it doesn't dissipate in the heat, stays fluid in the cold and lasts longer than "premium" reel lubes. The next time I clean out my reels, I've got some grease with Teflon in I'm going to try. That stuff is amazingly slippery and seems to have good adhesion, two good properties to have in a gear lube. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

LOL. |
