  • Can you use WD-40 to clean a fishing reel?

    • Wd-40 can be used to clean the fishing reels but not to lubricate them. WD-40 also puts a protective water coat over the area in which it was applied. The primary school of thought is that you would use WD-40 to clean the outside of the reel, and then grease the gears and oil everything else.

  • What does WD-40 stand for?

    • WD-40 stands for Water Displacement Formula 40. While most critics claim that WD-40 is not a lubricant, the company that makes WD-40 breaks down precisely what type of oil they use on their website. They claim that their product can be used to help protect fishing equipment from rust and corrosion.

  • Can you put too much grease on a fishing reel?

    • Putting too much grease can slow down the fishing reel just like not putting enough reel grease can do. You do not want to use Wd-40 as a stand-alone treatment or as a lubricant for your fishing reels. Bassmaster also recommends that you wash off the film that Wd-40 leaves with soapy water after applying the degreaser.
