Post-Trip Cleaning Routine

  1. Rinse rod and reel with freshwater (never submerge the reel).

  2. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the entire setup.

  3. Let it air dry before storage.


Reel Care

  • Lightly oil the reel handle and moving parts every few trips.

  • Check for sand, salt buildup, and line wear.

  • If you feel grinding or tension, it may be time for a professional service.


Line Tips

  • Inspect your line for frays and kinks.

  • Replace mono or fluoro line every few months (braid lasts longer).

  • Always cut off a few feet of line after a trip to avoid weakened sections.


Storage Suggestions

  • Store rods upright or horizontally—never leaning at an angle.

  • Loosen the drag before storing reels.

  • Keep everything in a cool, dry place.


A little post-trip love goes a long way. Treat your gear right, and it’ll serve you well trip after trip.
