how often do you clean your tackle

[arfacodsbody]

fishing tackle that is!! After fishing every a match every sunday i often put my gear in the garage & forget about it till the next saturday when i do prep for the next one, adding it all up my gear is worth about £800 & i treat it like this,i'd be gutted if it let me down during a session so have decided to change my ways & clean it earlier. Hence the question how often do you clean yours?????

[wellyfish]

i clean all my gear as soon as i get home ,wash the reels wipe the rods down ,make sure theres no little bits of worm or crab ect on the hooks,cos they do stink after a while,then put it all away in the spare bedroom/tackle shop ......

[Old Smoothound]

Yes

I do the same, wash it all down "polish" my rods and generally put it away neatly for the next time. Saves a lot of expense in seized reels and replacing rod rings. I always, always, turn my drag settings to the minimum on my Multipliers.

you also need to check that no one has slipped a little suprise into yer tackle box which you dont find again till the next trip i wont mention any names

After each fishing trip i put gear into garage then without fail clean and check the following day

I clean everything the day after. I clean my reel straightaway though and rinse my rigs and hang em up

I'm always too tired after a session to clean it straight away, so put it away and TRY to clean it the next day
