Got mine from Phil, but.....

The one I was going to use is called "Quantum hot sauce grease". Used for fishing reels, it's safe to use on plastics and a very low drag coefficent. Set you back about 5 or 6 bucks. Here's the sales pitch;

The engineers at Quantum worked with lubrication specialists to develop a grease specifically for reels and called it Hot Sauce. Standard greases break down from heat and wear and will migrate out of the critical friction areas. The carrying agents in Hot Sauce prevent structural breakdown in the grease and the low-friction polymers and exclusive tackifiers hold the grease on the wear surfaces and prevent migration. Hot Sauce’s hydrophobic formulation pushes water away from gears and drags preventing corrosion. The bright red color lets you know Hot Sauce grease is where it should be and is doing the job you intended it to.
