Is it just me or does it seem that many new reels have very little grease around gears and bearings? I have pruchased a few reels over the past year and have greased all of them straight out of the box. It seemed to me that they needed it. Of coarse I may be wrong and maybe a little grease does go a long way.
On the other hand I have purchase Pflueger reels that were packed with grease right out of the box.
I imagine it is better to be safe than sorry, and can't see how it is possible to have too much grease as long it is within reason.

Does anyone else gease your reels right after buying them? Even before first time using them?
