Quantum Hot Sauce Reviews

Excellent product, last longer, and withstands all the pressure I put on a reel. I clean and lube all my reels at least once a month, this stuff sticks and outlast any other lube I have used also gives smoother action to any reel! The red is also great to let me know if I need to add more or not!

I service fishing reels by trade and get an inside look at 100's (even 1000's) of reels every year. I have to say that I am not a fan of the Hotsauce products. I understand Quantum's line of thinking, but there is an issue with their additives within the oil and grease. The room temperature viscosity is extremely low, which is fine, but something happens to this oil and grease at operating temperatures. Essentially, it flies off the bearing and gums up whatever it comes in contact with. Usually it is reacting with another lubricant within the reel (like drag grease or gear grease). I do believe that the product does what it is supposed to do, but I believe that using Hotsauce oil and grease will require the angler to double or even triple the amount of service on their reels. Without exception, every reel I have serviced that has used this product has twice the build up of surplus. Surplus is my term for oil and grease that has been thrown from the bearings and gears and is collecting in parts of the reel that it should not be. It would be a shame if all these problems are caused by the dye that makes it red, which I doubt it but it sure does make it easy to see what the angler is using for lube.

Short and sweet. I love it. I use it on all my reels. I clean and lube my reels about 3 times a year, sometimes more depending on use and if they take a swim. Quick and easy to use, the tip is perfect to get in anywhere you want. I also like the red color, no mistake where Ive put it.
