I'm looking through the Surfcaster pages, looking at the stuff that I've only seen in the catalog. I see they have a special Reel Grease. Has anyone tried this? How does it work? I'm also looking at the Salt-X and having the holes drilled into my spool to let sand and water out. What do all of you think of that? Good idea? Good Products? Anything?

I've used the surfcaster reel grease for years, good stuff. Wasn't too impressed with salt-x. If you fish only in the calm waters of L.I. sound, drain holes in your penn are nice, but not necessary, open surf; that's another story.
