Which grease for Daiwa 2004?

Post by Papageno1791 » Sat Sep 08, 2007 3:32 am

Hello!
When you remove the drag knob of a Daiwa reel (particularly the 2004 size) you see there is grease inside the cavity (Picture 1). My question is, which kind of grease I need to use to replace the old one? I have Daiwa gears grease (Picture 2, left) and Daiwa breaks grease (Picture 2, right). Thanks!

Grease is grease, Try both and make a determination of what you like best.

I do not like grease on drags but a little Yellow Rocket fuel mixed with some Pixi dust is very nice.

I was going to suggest the same thing.
Clean the grease out of the clicker gear and use oil. It makes for a smoother more consistent drag.

The black is supposed to be used on drag and the blue one on gears.

Exactly how would a grease ruin drag washers?

Thanks guys for your answers. Actually I was asking for the grease on the clicker rathen than the grease on the washers. Anyways, I'll try brakes grease this time.

i would not go too deep in this stuff,but most normal lubricant and drag grease has different lubrication profile.
