Lost a screw from the baitcaster handle and dont know how that happened, wondering where do you get a single or a small pack of screw from? Tried local canadian tire and couldnt find one...online is either bulk, includes handle and other parts or shipping time is insanely far.
Also on another hand looking for some recommendations on reel maintenance oil/lube and grease?

Many many years ago I had a similar thing happen to me and my levelwind. a very small metric screw came loose and fell out never to be found.
I went to Pacific Fastners on 1st ave in burnaby and they gave me a screw free of charge. I think it was more of a hassle to sell the single screw. Take your reel with you.

Best video I've seen on the subject. I use super lube (greasing) and penn synthetic oil (for speeding things up like in bearings). You really just need those 2. Research vids on your particular model on how to apply them. Also mountain co-op is a good place for getting them. And on the subject of oil...you can using sewing machine oil or gun rifle oil. They maybe more avail near you. The key in oiling is for the body weight of the oil to be light as possible.

I ended up ordering from Mike's reel repair website, one knowledgeable guy from BC Fasteners said these are specialty screws which might not be available in general fastener stores.
