Daiwa Reel Oiler & Greaser

Essential reel maintenance from Daiwa, the Reel Oiler and Reel Greaser keep your spinning, baitcasting, and conventional reels running smoothly and protected against rust and saltwater corrosion. Choose the oiler for bearings, line rollers, and moving parts that require light lubrication, or the greaser for gears, drive trains, and components that require heavier grease lubrication.

Needle Nose Reel Oiler (DRO1)

A precision needle-nose applicator delivers a single drop of oil exactly where you need it — no over-application, no mess. The convenient pocket clip lets you carry it in your vest, shirt pocket, or tackle bag for on-the-water touch-ups, and included instructions identify the specific lubrication points on your reel. Ideal for bearings, line rollers, bail pivots, and all moving parts that require light oil lubrication.

Reel Greaser (DRG1)

Formulated specifically for fishing reel gear trains and drive components, the Daiwa Reel Greaser won’t thicken in cold water or run when hot — maintaining consistent viscosity across a wide temperature range for reliable performance in all conditions. Inhibits rust and saltwater corrosion to extend reel longevity, particularly important for reels used in inshore and offshore saltwater environments.

Oil vs. Grease: When to Use Each

• Use the Reel Oiler for: Ball bearings, line roller bearings, bail pivot points, level wind pawls, and any small moving parts that require light, low-viscosity lubrication for smooth, fast rotation.
• Use the Reel Greaser for: Main drive gears, pinion gears, worm shafts, and any gear-to-gear contact points that require heavier, high-viscosity lubrication to reduce wear and prevent corrosion under load.

Best For

• Routine Reel Maintenance — Regular lubrication of bearings and gears extends reel life and maintains smooth performance; recommended after every saltwater use and periodically during freshwater use.
• Saltwater Reel Protection — Greaser's rust and saltwater corrosion inhibitor is particularly important for spinning, baitcasting, and conventional reels used in inshore and offshore saltwater environments.
• On-the-Water Touch-Ups — Oiler's needle nose applicator and pocket clip make it easy to carry and apply a single drop of oil to a squeaky bail or sticky line roller without tools.
• All Reel Types — Compatible with Daiwa spinning, baitcasting, and conventional reels; also suitable for other brands.
