heard good things about this was wondering if a person has to wipe off old grease or simply reapply? Directions didn’t specify.

As much as it pains me, I agree with Bret.
Clean it as good as you can before adding the hot sauce. You will like this new grease a lot

Wow Slider…..your getting soft
January 15, 2009 at 3:11 am #737480Take off the side plate. Hit the gears with a shot of Brake Clean or Gumout, then a shot of compressed air. Wipe clean. (You can buy the compressed air in a can at any office supply or electronics store. Looks like a can of hairspray) Apply the hot sauce. Done inside 5 minutes.

January 15, 2009 at 2:16 pm #737595Like everyone else has said, clean off the old lube before adding new, but if you are removing GREASE, you should be replacing it with GREASE – not oil.
In general, oil bearings, and grease gears.

I disagree. For ice reels, use all oil.

True dat Jon
Grease and winter do not go together, get the grease out of there!
January 15, 2009 at 4:29 pm #737650Gaaaaak!!!!!!!!! How did I end up posting on the Ice Forum!?!
Sorry, I was referring to lubing reels for “normal” fishing.

January 15, 2009 at 4:39 pm #737655Works great for that too! It’s nice to only have one set of oil and grease and not having to switch between seasons. For the cold, I still use a very light film of grease on the main gears, but wipe all excess off, then it also gets a coat of oil all around. I haven’t found the Hot Sauce Grease to get too sticky, and it keeps the reel from feeling sloppy. For the most part, my ice reals are Tica or a few Cardinals, so slop is not really a issue, but on the cheaper set ups, I have found it to help.
January 16, 2009 at 2:20 pm #738025I started to use synthetic motor oil 5 w 30 smoothes out the real and never an issue in cold weather.
January 16, 2009 at 5:05 pm #738132I prefer Franks Redd Hot over Tabasco, but never tried either on a reel. OK – dumb joke. I like the synthetic motor oil idea – never tried it. Hot Sauce is awesome tho.
January 16, 2009 at 5:08 pm #738137That was funny
