Description

This is the synthetic lubricant that consistently outperforms all others currently available. It has incredible low and high-temperature characteristics, which is absolutely necessary for proper reel lubrication but completely lacking in petroleum-based oils. Don't use them on your reels any longer! Actual oils leave sticky deposits when the short-chain molecule components evaporate over time.
Real oil is made up of a mixture of long and short chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and under certain conditions the short-chain molecules evaporate, and the unstable molecules oxidize and break down. This leaves a sticky residue which can actually "gum up" the device it was intending to lubricate. Conventional oils also contain varying amounts of impurities, such as sulfur, waxes, and unstable hydrocarbons which are left behind as residue deposits.

In contrast, synthetic oils are made using a process that re-arranges the structure so all the molecules are uniform in size, shape, and weight, an ideal phenomenon which does not occur in nature. While petroleum-based oils that are extracted from the ground must then be refined to attempt to minimize their shortcomings, synthetics are custom-designed to produce the ultimate lubricant, with inherent performance characteristics vastly superior to any petro-oil.

It is perfectly safe to begin using Liquid Bearings on all your reels immediately, even if you have been lubricating them with conventional oils for years or decades. It is fully compatible with all vintage and current oils, and will eventually flush away the residue of the evaporated real oil over time. You will easily notice that your reels will cast further and the handles turn more easily with Liquid Bearings, especially if you have been using petroleum-based oil on them for years.

The bottle is top-quality LDPE, and the stainless needle allows the application drop-by-drop, unlike some oil bottles which "drool" the oil out!

Founder Carl August Borgstrom was a clever craftsman with a talent for light precision engineering. The company originally manufactured pocket watches, telephone timers, and taxi meters until World War II, when the demand for taxi meters sharply declined. Undaunted, Abu Garcia redirected its skills toward the development of precision fishing reels, eventually receiving the honor of being chosen "Purveyor to the Royal Swedish Court"--a distinction bestowed upon a select group of manufacturers who consistently exceeded the court's high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Abu Garcia remains firmly committed to maintaining its industry leadership position by providing anglers everywhere with the highest-quality, most-innovative products.

Swedish machined brass gears mesh cleanly and evenly for quieter, more powerful performance.Re-engineered levelwind includes tough titanium nitride plated line guide which resists nicks and scratches and prevents line abrasion. One-piece spool spins on fixed axle; reduced weight provides longer casts with less overrun.
