Scandex X-Reel Grease – 30ml – Medium

Scandex X-Reel Grease – 30ml – Soft

Product Details and Uses

Scandex X-Reel Grease is a premium, German-made lubricant engineered to provide the ultimate protection for your reel’s internal drive system. The “Soft” compound is specifically formulated for smaller to medium-sized reels, offering a lighter consistency that ensures gears turn effortlessly without the “heavy” or sluggish feel associated with thicker greases.

This high-performance grease creates a long-lasting, hydrophobic barrier that bonds to metal surfaces. It is designed to stay exactly where you apply it, providing constant lubrication to main gears, pinion gears, and bushings. Most importantly for the UK angler, it is highly resistant to saltwater wash-out, preventing the salt-creep and internal corrosion that can ruin a high-end reel after a single season. Non-toxic and safe for use around aquatic life, it is the professional choice for maintaining smooth, quiet, and reliable reel performance.

Why Choose Scandex X-Reel Grease (Soft)?

• Ultra-Smooth Gearing: The “Soft” consistency reduces mechanical resistance, making your reel feel brand new and effortless to turn.

• Superior Saltwater Defense: Actively repels moisture and prevents salt crystals from forming on gear teeth and load-bearing parts.

   

• German Engineering: Manufactured to exacting standards for consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures.

   

• Long-Lasting Adhesion: Unlike cheap lubricants, Scandex Grease won’t “fling” off the gears during high-speed retrieves, ensuring constant protection.

   

• Eco-Friendly: A non-toxic formula that is safe for the environment and for the angler.

Examples of Where to Use Scandex Soft Grease

• Fixed Spool Reels (1000–5000 Sizes): Perfect for the main drive gear and oscillation system on spinning reels. It keeps the retrieve buttery smooth without adding “drag.”

• Light Baitcasters: Ideal for the internal brass or aluminum gears of lure-fishing reels, ensuring a light, responsive feel when working lures all day.

• Lightweight Multipliers: Use on the clutch mechanisms and handle bushings of light beachcasters for a crisp, reliable action.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

When servicing your reel, always remember that a little goes a long way. After thoroughly cleaning away old, dirty grease, use a small brush to apply a thin, even coat of Scandex Soft Grease to the teeth of the main gear. You don’t need to “pack” the reel housing—too much grease can actually make the reel feel stiff. For the ultimate “pro-service” finish, use this Soft Grease on the gears and pair it with Scandex Racing Oil on your spool bearings for maximum casting distance!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• When should I choose ‘Soft’ over ‘Medium’ grease?

  Use Soft for smaller reels (up to 5000 size fixed spools or light baitcasters) where you want a light, fast feel. Choose Medium for large beachcasting multipliers, heavy boat reels, or big-game setups where the gears are under much higher pressure.

• Is this grease safe for plastic or carbon parts?

  Yes, Scandex X-Reel Grease is safe for use on the internal plastic, nylon, and carbon components found in modern reels.

• Does it work in cold winter conditions?

  Absolutely. One of the best things about German engineering is that this grease is designed to stay “soft” and functional even in near-freezing temperatures, so your reel won’t seize up during a winter cod session.

• Can I use this on my drag washers?

  While it is an excellent gear grease, we generally recommend using a dedicated “drag grease” for carbon washers. However, for standard felt washers, a very light smear can help maintain smoothness
