Have never succumbed to the make my own fetish in the last 30 years or so, because-------well I guess I have enough fetishes related to casting, shooting, reloading etc. as it is. That said I admire those who do stay with the the "new" lube testing program. I am sold on Bens LL for over coating, and use it for every thing I now cast. I am sold also on a green lube that Brad cooked up for cold weather (make that cold weather hunting), because it works well below the freezing mark. One of these days I will find somebody who will be willing to sell me some Ben's Red because Ben anything he comes up with just plain works. In the meanwhile, I will buy White Label 2500, and Can Red, because they just plain work for me.
