More good advice! Thanks. My friend in Connecticut/Rhode Island and a long standing member of this website told me to use 3-in1 oil, not the red can but the blue can, which is 20 weight oil, I think. I did that and it seemed to work fine, but I didn't know the reason why he suggested this particular oil. Now I know why. It's a little heavier than some oils and makes the Squidder reels better behaved.
I'm comfortable taking apart a Squidder reel but not (yet) a Shimano reel. I've only ben fishing conventional reels for the past 3 seasons and I think they're great. I don't know why I stuck with spinning tackle for the previous two decades. I much prefer conventional rods, too. Never too late to learn, I guess. Thanks again for your advice and encouragement.
