Keep Your Tackle Clean

When you get water spray on your tackle or have done a long fishing session down at the local beach, make sure you give your reel and rod a wash in clean water to remove the corrosive salt and sand.

When you get home, dunk your tackle in a bucket of tapwater or run a hose or shower over them. Then allow them to dry in a warm spot. At this stage you can re-oil all the moving parts ready for your next fishing session. They can come to no harm and will give you years more service by doing so.
