Clenzoil Marine & Tackle cleans, lubricants and protects metal on fishing reels, downriggers, engines, locks, latches, trailers and more from corrosion when exposed to harsh marine environments. It also protects and preserves wood trim. The CLP removes oils, dirt, old grease and other contaminants and prevents future accumulation. Clenzoil provides a thin, non-greasy coating that lubricates and protects. The marine-grade CLP will not harm synthetic surfaces, leather, canvas or rubber. Fishing reels require periodic lubrication, and the one-step specially formulated Clenzoil Marine & Tackle makes it easy (see Clenzoil website for reel lubrication tutorial). It’s available in various applicators, including needle oilers, wipes, pumps and aerosols. A compatible Clenzoil synthetic reel grease provides long-lasting lubrication for all fishing reels. Clenzoil Synthetic Reel Grease offers outstanding water resistance and won’t wash out during operation, even when submerged.
MSRP start at $5.99 for CLP and $11.99 for synthetic grease
