Alternate reel oil

[mike rousseau]

I was wondering if I could use another type of oil that isn't quite so expensive an hard to come by...

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.

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?

Convenience... I don't know anywhere to get reel oil in my city...

 

And I always seem to misplace those little oil sticks

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.
