I purchased this because I collect alot of older reels and many have seen alot of neglect with salt buildup a huge problem. I used it for the first time last night and I am simply amazed at how great this product really works! I followed your advise and gave the parts a good soaking overnight in the solution and the next morning it was like looking at factory parts right off the line. This will certainly become a regular product on my shelf, thank you!

BadFish Barracuda Grease
BadFish Barracuda Grease starts with our highest premium synthetic grease and then we infuse it with BadFish Piranha Powder, and our own special rust and saltwater corrosion fighters, making this the slickest, highest quality professional grease on the market! If you are looking for ultimate in protection, lubricity, and longevity then "BadFish Barracuda Grease" is what you have been waiting for.
BadFish Barracuda Grease is unmatched in its ability to withstand the harshest temperatures and most severe pressures. Compounded with the finest ingredients available, BadFish Barracuda Grease combines a high viscosity synthetic base oil or grease, and tungsten disulfide particles. In addition to operating at extreme temperatures and extreme pressures, BadFish Barracuda Grease was created to operate on high speed bearings. Formulated for professional use, this top quality lubricating grease features exceptional service life, advanced stability, and first-rate load bearing properties.
Lowest coefficient of friction - 0.03%, unmatched by either graphite or Molybdenum DisulfideRust Inhibiting PropertiesSaltwater Corrosion InhibitorTemperature Resistance from -450F (-270C) to 1200F (650C)Load Bearing Capability is Extremely High at 300,000PSIApplications are unlimited and could be tried with every conceivable ideaFishing Reels, Guns, Ammunition, Automotive parts, Racing Car Engine and other parts, Aerospace parts, Bearings (Linear, Ball, Roller etc), Shafts, Marine parts, Cutting Tools, Blades, Slitters, Knives, Mold release, Precision Gears, Valve components, Pistons, Chains, Machinery components and many other areas.BadFish Barracuda Grease is ideal for use anywhere the most extreme temperatures and pressures demand a superior grease that can withstand extreme conditions. BadFish Barracuda Grease has ideal properties for bearing grease application and is useful for both high load and impact load applications. This is the case because of its strong resistance to abrasion and its impressive extreme pressure properties.
BadFish Barracuda Grease's exceptional extreme pressure (EP) properties and high load bearing properties are due to the tungsten disulfide particles it contains (tungsten disulfide has a high load bearing property of 300,000 psi). Tungsten disulfide, one the most lubricious materials one the planet, can offer a dry lubricity that no other substance can match and is the superior disulfide for use in high temperature and high pressure applications. Tungsten disulfide grease can be used in place of molybdenum disulfide grease (sometimes referred to as moly disulfide grease) and graphite grease, to the betterment of the operation. Molybdenum and tungsten come from the same chemical family and have been around equally long, and although molybdenum has traditionally been the more popular choice (due to easy availability and previous lower cost), its rising cost has put it in a comparable price range with tungsten. It is now more economically feasible to use tungsten disulfide, which is a superior disulfide as it is both heavier and more stable than molybdenum.
BadFish Barracuda Grease is highly resistant to rust, water, and humidity in the environment, and it offers exceptional mechanical stability under high shear. With an application temperature range of -4°F (-20°C) to 1472°F (800°C), BadFish Lubricants are equipped to take on the most extreme temperature conditions. BadFish Barracuda Grease also has a very high dropping point, which is above 608°F (320°C). Its high dropping point means that this tungsten disulfide grease won’t solidify at higher temperatures. Not only does BadFish Barracuda Grease have a very high dropping point, it also has the lowest coefficient of friction when compared to any other high temperature greases.
Use it on your reels, guns, motors, precision gears, cutting tools, chain saws, boat trailers, hinges, practically any material surface that slides, or rotates.
It exhibits exceptional stability and will not harden or set up in storage or use.It stays in place during use for extended periods without softening or flowing. It retains its consistency even at high temperatures.Barracuda Grease does not bleed, and tightly holds the oil within the grease structure, even at high temperatures.Barracuda Grease provides these load carrying capabilities without the use of heavy metals or chlorinated extreme pressure additives which can be toxic to the environment.*Available soon in 14oz and 3oz Grease Cartridge to fit standard grease guns.

Building Your Own Pond or Lake Set (eBook)
This set contains two valuable books for anyone interested in constructing their own pond or lake, for aquaculture, fishing, livestock, or recreation. There are over 118 pages contained in the set, with detailed information, illustrations, and figures. This is the first time this set has ever been offered together to give you the best information available for getting started building your lake or pond.
Water Needs Investigation and Planning Location Selection Construction Cost Storm Runoff Embankment Ponds Excavated Ponds Pond Sealing Vegetation Operation and Maintenance Pond SafetySince the beginning of human kind we have always been drawn to water’s life sustaining substance. Whether its buying a beach front home, a ranch house with a farm pond, or a condo with a koi pond, we all love water. So can the desire to build your own lake or pond be fueled by many reasons, whether it for livestock, agriculture needs, or just plain recreation, every reason boils down to the basic need for water.
For many years farmers and ranchers have been building ponds for livestock water and for irrigation. By 1980 more than 2.1 million ponds had been built in the United States by land users on privately owned land. More will be needed in the future. The demand for water has increased tremendously in recent years, and ponds are one of the most reliable and economical sources of water. Ponds are now serving a variety of purposes, including water for livestock and for irrigation, fish production, field and orchard spraying, fire protection, energy conservation, wildlife habitat, recreation, erosion control, and landscape improvement. This handbook describes embankment and excavated ponds and outlines the requirements for building each. The information comes from the field experience and observation of land users, engineers, conservationists, and other specialists.

Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101 Book and DVD
"Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101" is a step-by-step how-to guide to help anglers perform their own reel maintenance and repairs, as well as maintain other angling gear. It is based on guidance from top experts in the field of fishing reel maintenance.
As an avid angler for four decades, I understand the need for maintaining fishing gear properly. Sadly, however there are millions of anglers that would love to do their own maintenance or repairs but feel intimidated at the mere thought of taking their reels apart. Instead they opt to taking their reels into a service center to leave their gear in the hands of a stranger whom they have no idea of his qualifications or to simply never do the required maintenance. This is evident by sheer number of the reel repair shops that pop up virtually everywhere, some with little to no experience servicing reels at all. No solider in his right mind would trust the operation of his weapon with a stranger when he was going into battle, and neither should any angler, after all in sportfishing the reel is your weapon and every angler needs to know it will perform at its best when needed. The old saying “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself” holds true when it comes to taking care of your reels!
Comprehensive Scope
Over 7 years went into the making of this book and DVD. Far more than just a book about maintaining and repairing reels, Fishing Reel Care and Maintenance 101 demystifies the fear that many anglers have that reels are simply too complicated for them to service, don’t know what products to use, or where to obtain replacement parts. There are many reasons why this book stands out in its field, though in a nutshell, here are eight keys:
242 detailed pages! we've created the best resource you can find on fishing reel maintenance and care. From the beginner to the seasoned angler, it's a book that every angler should simply not be without!
Whether you’re purchasing a new reel, or would like to service and maintain your current collection of reels. There are many things that you should know, and not just how to disassemble the reel. If you are purchasing a new reel I’m sure you’ve been the conscious angler so you’ve done a lot of research, talked to others about which ones they like best and why. You checked free spool times, gear ratios, line capacity, star or lever drag, size, etc. Maybe walked into a few stores and held them in your hands. But there are other equally important factors that you should be considering such as Serviceability; can you service the reel yourself or will it have to be done professionally.
Sounds like a simple thing, although time and again anglers overlook this consideration because they hear the marketing hype about how many years of trouble free service the reel will give, which they assume means it needs no service at all, wrong.
Reliability is another important factor in a reel. Let’s face it most drags stick on reels right out of the box and the few that do not, won’t remain smooth for any length of time. Corrosion is also a big issue and preventing it starts at the factory during the manufacturing process and continues with the angler after the purchase.
If you own a reel repair business it is your customer that is relying on you to help them maintain their reels in the proper way. And as with any investment, you need to maintain it properly to protect it.
In the past anglers were not as in tuned to maintaining their reels the way we are today, with more technological advances also comes more precise and more sensitive gear to the elements. Anglers sometimes think that as long as the reel is not dropped in the sand, water, or dirt that it should not need as much periodic maintenance, however consider the case of the surf fishermen, the reel is subjected to windblown sands, roasting sunlight, and saltwater spray, all without even touching the ground.
In this book we are going to give you the knowledge to properly care for and maintain your fishing reels for years of enjoyment and at its peak performance for when it really counts! I cover a lot of topics within the book, simply because there are a lot of outside influences when it comes to reels, including lines, lubricants, reel covers, and a lot more that all affect the performance, serviceability and sustainability of any reel.

Where is ReelSchematic headed?
ReelSchematic has from our beginning always remained flexible with the ever changing markets, and we are still changing every day to meet the demands of our current and future customers. We recently under went a large change by moving to dual dedicated servers, to support the rising hits we receive and also provide some redundancy against failures. I won't say it was an easy migration, but then does anything good come easy? Our techs worked around the clock to ensure there was degradation in our data and that the move would be as transparent to our customers as possible. If we were successful then you probably didn't even notice anything, which spells success to us!ReelSchematic remains dedicated to serving the marine/sport fishing industry, as well as we have expanded to cover many industrial markets with our Pur-Tungsten line of lubricants.
We have a Reel Repair Guide that is in the works, sorry we don't have a timeline of when it will be released yet. The book will cover more in-depth reel repair and care tutorials, lots of nice step by step photos, diagrams, etc. We're excited about getting it finished and out to everyone! So look for it in the near future!

Starting the Article Series on Lubricants
Sorry, I could not read the content fromt this page.Sorry, I could not read the content fromt this page.
BadFish Tungsten Lubrication Kit
This kit consists of the following items from our famous BadFish Lubrication Family of products:
1ea. - 2oz. BadFish Piranha Powder
1ea. - 2oz. BadFish Barracuda Grease
1ea. - 2oz. BadFish Shark Oil
BadFish Tungsten Lubricants "will" extend the life of your reels, tools and other equipment! This product has been used in Defense and Aerospace applications since 1962 and now it is finally available for your use!
Rated by scientists as the most lubricious material on the planet, offering a dry lubricity that no other substance can match! It was orginally developed for NASA by Stanford Univeristy, and now a Formula 3000 Racing Team owes its success to using Tungsten Disulfide, now you can use the same technology on your fishing reels!
Have you been searching for the best lubricant on the market, or better yet, the best known to science? This is it! Tungsten Disulfide is one of the secrets of the professionals, and now it can be yours too! This is the same ingredient that is used in our "Super Slick" now available to you in pure 99.9% powder or spray can. Search for yourself, you will not find a better lubricant anywhere on the planet! Guaranteed!
Between 1962 and late 1973, 10 robotic explorers named Mariner were built by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to investigate Earth’s closest neighbors: Venus, Mars and Mercury. Besides revealing much about the planets, the Mariners proved that interplanetary flight and scientific exploration was possible using small, low-cost spacecraft that could be designed in a short amount of time and stay on the job severalyears. During the later missions some of that durability was due to a new lubricant called tungsten disulfide, developed for NASA by Stanford University. Following this debut, tungsten disulfide (WS2) found its way into industrial applications, primarily in aerospace and defense applications.
In contact situations such as cutting tools, tungsten disulfide practically eliminates galling while improving chip evacuation and lubrication. This results in a much longer life for cutting tools, reduced lubricant temperatures, more efficient mold release, and improved service life for all treated parts.
But that’s the obvious part. In racing, any legal and safe method that gives a split-second lead over the other drivers is highly desired. Top IRL, CART, NASCAR and NHRA teams have embraced tungsten disulfide for its friction-fighting characteristics in engines and drivetrains. Race teams have reported a 30% longer life in coated parts; gears and shafts that once made it 700 miles are good to 2,000. Not only will the compound not damage the substrate (it is noncorrosive and no heat is required for curing), but tungsten disulfide is inert, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly. The coating takes on the characteristics of the base material. It won’t chip, flake or peel — important to anyone who designs and builds precision components. US Army Airforce is considering using WS2 to extend gearbox life in the event of small arms damage to helicopter lubrication systems.
.... and now it has entered the sportfishing industry with a storm!

Tungsten disulfide adheres to a substrate surface through a molecular/mechanical interlock and takes on the characteristic of the substrate regardless of whether the substrate is ferrous, non-ferrous, a composite, carbide or plastic. When applied to a substrate material, tungsten disulfide also forms a very thin layer due to the fact that it does not bond to itself. As a result, the dimensions and tolerances of treated parts are not compromised or appreciably affected when a substrate is treated with tungsten disulfide.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) is one of the most lubricous materials known to science. With Coefficient of Friction at 0.03, it offers excellent dry lubricity unmatched to any other substance. It can also be used in high temperature and high pressure applications. It offers temperature resistance from
-450 oF (-270oC) to 1200oF (650oC) in normal atmosphere and from -305oF (-188oC) to 2400oF
(1316oC) in Vacuum. Load bearing property of coated film is extremely high at 300,000 psi.
Since the powder offers one of the lowest Coefficient of Friction (Dynamic @ 0.03 & Static @ 0.07), the applications are unlimited and could be tried with every conceivable idea.
WS2 powder can be added to Oil/Lubricant/Liquid/Water/Plastic etc. to increase lubricity of mixture. WS2 can also be coated on a substrate by Spraying/Buffing/Tumbling.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) is dry/solid lubricant powder and is one of the most lubricious substance in world. WS2 offers excellant dry lubricity (COF: 0.03) unmatched to any other substance, including Graphite or Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2).
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) can also be used in high temperature and high pressure applications. It offers temperature resistance from -450 deg F (-270º C) to 1200 deg F (650º C) in normal atmosphere and from -305 deg F (-188º C) to 2400º F (1316º C) in Vacuum. Load bearing ability of coated film is extremely high at 300,000 psi.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) can also be used instaed of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). See comparison of WS2 / MoS2
Since the powder offers one of the lowest Coefficient of Friction (Dynamic @ 0.03 & Static @ 0.07), the applications are unlimited and could be tried with every conceivable idea.
When material is made into nanoparticles, its reactivity increases. Smaller the particle size, higher the surface area. Nanoparticles have a very high surface area to volume ratio, due to this a higher percentage of atoms (in nanoparticles) can interact with other matter. Therefore Surface Area (measured in Square meters per gram) is most important unit of measure for a nano lubricant. Higher the surface area, higher the lubricity.
Comparison between Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) & Tungsten Disulfide (WS2)
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) is one of the most lubricous materials known to science. With Coefficient of Friction at 0.03, it offers excellent dry lubricity unmatched to any other substance. It can also be used in high temperature and high pressure applications. It offers temperature resistance from -450o F (-270o C) to 1200o F (650o C) in normal atmosphere and from -305o F (-188o C) to 2400o F (1316o C) in Vacuum. Load bearing property of coated film is extremely high at 300,000 psi.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) can be used instead of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) and Graphite in almost all applications, and even more. Molybdenum and Tungsten are from same chemical family. Tungsten is heavier and more stable. Molybdenum Disulfide (Also known as Moly Disulfide) till now has been extremely popular due to cheaper price, easier availability and strong and innovative marketing. Tungsten Disulfide is not new chemical and has been around as long as Moly, and is used extensively by NASA, military, aerospace and automotive industry.
Till few years ago, price was Tungsten Disulfide was almost 10 times that of Molybdenum Disulfide. But since then price of Molybdenum Disulfide has doubled every six months. Now the prices of both chemicals are within comparable range. Now, it makes more economic sense to use superior dry lubricant (Tungsten Disulfide) and improve the quality and competitiveness of final product.
Tungsten Disulfide offers excellent lubrication under extreme conditions of Load, Vacuum and Temperature. The properties below show that Tungsten Disulfide offers excellent thermal stability and oxidation resistance at higher temperatures. WS2 has thermal stability advantage of 93oC (200oF) over MoS2. Coefficient of Friction of WS2 actually reduces at higher loads.

Posted by Brett Crowe on 17th Feb 2011
I was at the Open Bass Tournament when these guys were showing their products and I watched one of the Abu Garcia pro anglers walk over and get some and immediately start oiling up his reel right there at the booth, that was enough to sell me! I've already used it on not just my reel but my boat, tralier, seat pedestals, door hinges, even the wife's car. and I just ordered some of the monster grease to pack my trailer bearings with. Excellent stuff guys, keep it up!
