Maintenance of fishing equipment

Whether it is fishing rod or fishing line and so on, some fishing equipment is very important for fishing, they play a vital role in fishing, so after fishing for their maintenance is also very important. Now let's take a look at how to maintain some appliances!

Friends, do you know how to maintain fishing gear? Let's share with you

1. Maintenance of fishing rod

When the rod is not used, it is necessary to take the knife into the sheath, and maintain it well. Generally, the surface of the rod can be wiped with soft cloth with clean water. For cleaning the inner wall, a thick cotton thread shall be taken, a flexible buckle shall be made in the middle, and a sponge slightly larger than the diameter of the inner wall shall be tied. One end of the sponge shall be passed through the rod and the sponge shall be pulled up and down to wipe. If the inner wall is too dirty, dip in a little detergent to clean. Finally, rinse with clean water, and pay attention to dry the rod thoroughly. Then assemble the rod, and put rod oil on each section. The rod oil should be evenly wiped in a small amount, and do not think the more the better. The purpose of rod oil after rod assembly is to avoid rod oil applied at the rod interface, which will inadvertently increase the lubrication degree at the rod joint, resulting in unnecessary pulling out consequences.

Meanwhile, pay attention to the vent hole at the plug of rod tail. If there are any sundries, it is necessary to clean and ensure air permeability, otherwise, it will affect the service life of the rod. After the maintenance of fishing rod is completed, do not rush to put the plug on the cap. It should be placed for about a week. When the water is fully volatile, the plug shall be packed well. When collecting rods, it is better to put the rod bag vertically, so that the rod is not easy to deform. Now the price of brand rod oil is high, and it is easy to use dozens of yuan a small box. Except for some expensive high-end rods, it is unnecessary to use all the protective rod oil.

In recent years, the author replaced the rod oil with vaseline and car wax, and felt good to wipe it on the fishing rod and float. Because car wax has UV protection and explosion protection paint surface function, it is more suitable for fishing rod. Vaseline is a mineral wax base extracted from oil, which is basically the same as the protective rod oil, and has the function of waterproof and repairing small cracks. Therefore, it is also good for fishing rod and float.

2. Maintenance of fishing line

In the author's opinion, the fishing line is divided into two kinds of fishing line, which are over water and no water. The fishing line without water is wrapped on clean wood and plastic board and sealed in plastic bags. This can reduce the contact between the line and air, and avoid dehydration, embrittlement or oxidation of the line body caused by drying in winter. The line that goes down the water must first check whether there are any scars, and discard the ones that cannot be used. If they can be used, the parts that are often worn at both ends shall be cut off, and the length shall be changed to short use. Then wipe clean with clean water, dry the sealed collection.

3. Maintenance of fishing hook

During maintenance, the hook tip and handle of the fishing hook shall be inspected, and the unqualified parts shall be discarded firmly. The hook tip used is sharp, whether the binding line is tight, and whether the tie method is correct, etc., and it must also be checked one by one. If the large hook is not very sharp, it can be sharpened with a grinding knife and stone. If there is rust on the hook, it should also be polished with small pieces of fine sandpaper to make it bright and sharp. Then wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in clean oil to prevent rust. The treated fishing hook should be wrapped in paper. Never pack it in plastic paper or plastic bag to avoid moisture. The hooks that are not used for a long time shall be placed in a cool and dry place and sealed for storage.

4. Maintenance of floating

Take small soft cloth and wet with water, wipe the bleach body and feet clean first. If there is dirt on it, wipe it repeatedly. Then rub a little toothpaste on the cloth, wipe each color of the tail with soft cloth, then clean the whole float with water, and then dry. Then find a large transparent drift pipe (some thick) with package float, and point the vent hole of one plug of the drift tube with 502 glue to ensure no air leakage. Pour light paraffin oil (generally available for sale in drugstore) into the bleaching pipe, and press the tail down into the paraffin oil; Use fingers to move the drift tube, and carefully observe whether there is bubble leakage in the floating body, especially the upper and lower parts of the floating body, especially with the tail and the bottom of the float foot.

If there is air bubble, it means there is hard injury here, float should be taken out for repair. If there is no bubble production, remove the bleach after the bubble, do not wipe, directly inserted on the foam board, float and plastic plate stored in a low temperature and stable, shelter from wind and light, so floating a thin layer of paraffin oil will become a protective cover for floats. If the brightness of the tail is found to be insufficient, it is necessary to store the paint again. When the next season comes, as long as you wipe it with dry soft cloth, float can be used.
