I use blue marine grease and you cant even hear a thing make any clicking noises. I pack it to the point that when I close the side plate, grease is oozing out of the housing. I scrape up all that grease and pack it into the bail sprign housings, then install the springs and attach the bail. after that, i take the greasy paper towel and rub down the entire reel just to give it a slightly greasy coating. I was doing this about once in the spring, once in teh summer and once in the fall. When i change the grease I break it down completely and blast it with carborator cleaner in my tub sink and clean it all out with an old toothbrush and repack it.
