It’s generally not recommended to use Vaseline as it can attract dirt and isn’t the best for all reel parts. Better stick to reel-specific lubricants.

Slippy fish will slide right into your hands then, won’t they? LOL, might as well grease up the fish too.

Sustainable fishing practices mean using the right materials for our equipment.

Curious about the long-term effects.

It can degrade rubber and plastic components over time. Specialist reel oil is the way to go.
