Are ice reels really needed?

Unfortunately, as you are well aware, that describes me. (:

[#0000ff]I have been using Quantum Hot Sauce for several years to keep my reels working smoothly in all seasons.

I have also been using Quantum Hot Sauce for years (you probably recommended it sometime way back when.) and it is great lubricant.

It is best when you CAN remove some of the gunk that accumulates inside the gears but you can sometimes just put a few drops of the Hot Sauce in through a small opening in the housing and it will migrate around and restore smooth action. It actually breaks down and liquifies some of that stiff silicone lube that turns to rock in cold conditions.[/#0000ff]

I will give that a try.

[/#0000ff][#0000ff]If you have some reels that need tuning up I would be glad to help.
