I bought myself a Shakespeare Eagle CP for Christmas. When I received it, although it spun very well, it seemed a little stiff. I put one single drop of 3in1 oil on the shaft, and HEY PRESTO!! It runs and runs. What a super reel!

is 3in 1 the best ting to put on a reel

"Spend a pound", "Treat myself?" :o

 

Seriously though I dont think there is anything that I really want!

 

You'll never be a tackle-tart with an attitude like that :D

Go on Budgie, treat yourself, get one of these, and it is a Shimano so it will have bank cred! Could be a good reel for piking, especially off a boat.

It seems to have worked for KB but I think sewing machine oil is the preferred one for CP's. That was recommended to me here on AN in the past and on a certificate in the Youngs CP box it recommends sewing machine oil.

Now here I am, 64 years of age, and always thought that that a GOOD 3in1 oil is the same as sewing machine oil!

 

 

Is it KB I thought 3 in 1 oil was thicker than sewing machine oil.

Me too. Not that in all honesty Ive ever thought the type of oil you used that crucial!

 

Ive used 3 in 1,sewing machine oil,hair cutting clipper oil and Trev Gittens Rocket Fuel (an oil marketed for highly tuned tournement casting reels).

 

Out of all the above though I (without checking) would imagine that the 3 in 1 is the "thickest" as all the other three are designed to be used to lubricate fine and fast moving pieces of machinery.But like said Ive never really noticed a practical difference when Ive used the thicker oil on any of my pins.

 

Incidently I use the reels summer and winter so the temperature difference dont really come into it.

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!
