Welcome aboard lund2003. Thanks for taking the time to register on this great site.
I'm glad to see that you have the saavy that it takes to be just a step above on the angling. I also do my own lubricating. If you ever read the instructions that come with the reels, the specifically say the do's and don'ts with the lube.
It sounds like they used some of the Marine grade grease or some of the newer Penn lube.
I found that the Penn lube works best in the cradle bearings of the old Jigmasters. I don't use it anymore since I swapped all my bearing out to some quality sealed ball bearings.
Now my Jigmasters cast just as good as my Newells.
The Stradic is a very good reel. I have a pair of them and use them for some of my bass fishing.
I'm glad you were able to bring light to this subject and share it here on the boards.
Congrats on your acquisition of a very fine reel.[cool]
