| Some reels do have a yellowish color lube in them. It depends on the manufaturer and the type of goop they use in their reels.
If you are planning on lubing it yourself, I recommend cleaning out the old and replacing with new. Mixing different types of lubes can create problems on a chemical level.

| | How long since the reel was serviced? I've had reel lube turn strange colors in response to salt water getting into the gears. Like the last post said, clean it out well, dry it out and lube it fresh. |

| | I can honestly say if its a goo its a lube. Servicing your own reels isnt too bad if you have the confidence to take it a part and put it back together. The first time I did a reel I said to myself - just take every part off lay it out and then look at the schematics and put it back together. A week later I took it to a hop in a ziplock bag with several left over parts. BUT from then on I wasnt afraid to take something apart. I use the X-1R lubricants and Cals reel grease to cover everything on a regular basis. Just wipe everything down clean it up good and re-grease/oil everything. Let me know if you have questions. |

| | i like to use quantum hot sauce it is designed for saltwater reels and it turns brown when it needs to be reoiled and greased helps you know when to service reel. i also like to use blakemore reel magic to spray on my reels after i rinse with freshwater keep uv rays from destroying my reels and line. |

| hot sauce gets my vote as well however; you need to take into consideration the viscosity level of hot sauce which will require a little more tlc to keep your reel in tip top shape over time. In addition, it may be a good idea to keep a log of when you service your reels and the work completed. Just my $.02

| dood if the reel is a shimano never put grease in it the grease will expand and not make the reel smooth i kno from experience.Just put oil in it if u have put grease iin it soak ur reel in dawn detergent it will eat the grease away then make sure the reel is dry and add oil in it for now on it will feel so smooth just like a brand new reel
