Have any of you done this? It may be a trick the old-timers did to their squidders to make them very fine.
Take a brand-new reel and clean all the grease out of it. Then pack the reel with toothpaste and start cranking. Crank the handle all winter long. When your good and sick of it, clean the toothpaste out and grease as you normally would. The reel should be a caster's dream.
