Last year it started to get really stiff and hard to turn in below freezing weather: seems like probably due to water getting in the shaft and then freezing. Anyone else ever have this problem? Is there a repair, other than to try and force some grease into the shaft, or should I just replace it?
Thanks,
Dave

You can buy "Blue Lube" to re-lube your tip-ups. It's a a low temp lube made for tip-ups. www.877icefish.com (http://www.877icefish.com)

You can get PB blaster at your local auto parts store. last alot longer then wd40 and it is a penitrating oil.
