Do tip-ups (under water spool kind) need to be greased from time to time to keep them working well?
Seems to me, that years ago, there was a special tip-up grease sold called Blue-Lube, possibly by HT.
Have looked for it - don't find it anywhere.
Have had my tip-ups for eons - never done anything of the sort to them.
So if they do need greasing every so often, what do you use? Vasaline? I asked this question of a clerk in a sporting goods store last night - he told me grease like for your car truck. Seems a bit extreme.
