was wanting to know whats the best oil to use on it??
have heard that yellow rocket fuel is the best but would like some more
advice please
really chuffed i is never used a mag reel before cant wait any you lads got any tips on the mag elites too??

you are best off casting with the mags on full then slowly adjust it faster till u find ur desired setting . dunno bout ur oil my 6500mag runs on 10w/40

yellow rocket fuel will do the job,also tournament grade you can get,to be honest 3 in 1 will do the job for fishing and save you some money,you will probably get a tube of oil in the box which will be more than adequate......also might mention some bearings will come greased up on new reels so you will need to clean them and just add a tiny drop of oil to each bearing,put too much oil on and you will slow the reel down a lot.Agree with starting with the mags on full till you get used to it, reduce the mags as you become more comfortable with your cast.

I've got the unmagged blue elites and they come with a tube of yellow and a tube of red. One drop every few months should do the trick (if you only use it once a week like me). I reckon at that rate the original tubes should last me till I'm about 150
