I'm going to use it for now but wonder if I should get something better and redo it??
What do you use to clean the dirt from inside the reel??
I picked up my lubricants from CharkBait. Check out
http://alantani.com/index.php?PHPSES...gqtpmscfi6qr56&
for tons of great information and schematics. Generally I run two kinds of synthetic lube, marine grease for gears and coating internal walls of the reel, and Cals grease for the drags.
Look online for
TSI301
SpeedX reel lube
ReelX reel lube
Cals Grease
Yamaha Marine Grease 3 oz tube

To get rid of the dirt and old grease, use carb cleaner, soak the bearings and pinion use a old toothbrush to scrub the parts. Air dry or use compressed air before greasing and lubing parts. Take pictures if you have complex assemblies and line up in order parts as you remove them.

There is a world of difference between the fine oils and the high end synthetic lubricants. Time the before and after service free spool, you'll feel like a pro.
