Garry2Rs Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have been using Automatic Transmission fluid for a couple of years now. It's very light and seems to work okay. Best of all I always have it in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I agree with the sewing machine oil however, how much reel oil do you need that would make it that expensive? You're never supposed to put too much oil in a reel, ever. Or is it just for the convenience of sewing machine oil being more readily available?

aplumma Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 When I was really going for distance surf casting we used lighter fluid but it was only good for a few hours but the casts you got would be fantastic. Now I use synthetic Transmission fluid or dot5 brake fluid both do not attract water but dot 3&4 are a no no they will cause damage and rust to occur.
