just spent an hour washing braids on spools, rinsing reels, rods, polishing and spraying some wax onto the rod blanks, using ear sticks (cotton buds) to get inside spigots etc...
Not something the average sea angler does but I'm the first to admit, I've got sloppy. When fly fishing in the sea I do this 'everytime' I come home. Skishing, we often rinse everything down at convenient beach showers etc.
Now, they are ready to go again.
Need to sort rusty jigheads out from the good ones now...salt gets everywhere. Especially in jig boxes and in those Koa packs. Mine's shot to death btw. New one required yesterday or a fortnight ago..
So.
Who bothers cleaning ?, and, if not, why not.
