Inox Lubricant - Fishing and Boating

iNox MX3 Lubrication, Review
January 13th, 2011

by Captain Chuck Simpson

Making a living in the outdoor industry demands that my equipment function properly and for this to happen, it must be properly maintained – I cannot afford malfunctions. The different pieces of equipment I use for work and play have moving parts, which means they need to be routinely lubricated. A good quality lubrication product will not only aid in keeping moving parts working smoothly, but will also serve as protection against many of the harsh elements found in outdoor environments: salt, sand, dirt, moisture, etc. Let’s face it; reliable gear is expensive, so why not use a product that will prolong the life of your equipment, one that will drastically reduce wear, the possibility of down time, and expensive repairs?

After receiving a sample over a year ago, I have been using the Inox MX3 aerosol lubricant extensively and I am convinced it is one of the best lubricants and protection on the market – especially for fishermen and outdoors men. Not only is MX3 a lubricant and protection, but it also displaces water and is a penetrate. I can spray my reels lightly after washing them down from a day’s fishing trip and rest on the confidence they will be protected from the elements and function properly the next time I pick them up. I have even started coating the inside of the plastic tackle boxes where I store my expensive plugs, spoons, and hooks to combat rust and oxidation. It doesn’t affect the finish on my lures, nor does it have a negative effect on a fish’s olfactory senses.

The unique formula used in the Inox MX3 lubricant contains no silicon, acid or acid-forming ingredients and is not petroleum-based. It will not harm metal points, surfaces, plastics, paints, enamels or finishes, fiberglass, neoprene seals, or degrade the quality of braid and mono-filament fishing lines. MX3 is non conductive and non-static so it can be used on electrical connections and will not attract foreign particles. It will not dry out, become gooey, gum up or wash off. In addition, Inox MX3 aerosol is ozone-safe, contains no CFCs, and is environmentally friendly, though its makers recommend against its use on natural rubber products. MX3 also is available in non-aerosol applicators.

As of now, fishing tackle isn’t the only thing I’m using the Inox lube on: my guns, bow, mountain bike, door hinges, locks, skiff (no worry of stain) and just about anything else you can imagine – I am totally impressed. With Inox I don’t have to apply nearly as much as with other brands, it does a far superior job, and a little goes a very long way. What more could I ask for?
