re shimano reels

i have shimano 1000s and i cannot rate them highly enough get loads of hammer and have never let me down. I did get an okuma interceptor as a freebie and its fine as a back up though it did freeze solid in adverse weather lol

yes you can Nick, its all down to how much Lithium is in grease, and wether you use low or high load ratings.

whats differance between high an low?

is low in Lithium

not that one is a denser grease than the other?

sorry Nick.....one has a high load capacity, only suitable for heavy bearings and the like.
