FISHING TIPS
Fishing Tips Number One:
Back the drag off your reel after each use, allowing the washers to relax and extend their life!
Fishing Tips Number Two:
Lightly mist your reel with water after each outing to remove any sand, mud or dirt & towel dry.
Fishing Tips Number Three:
Flushing out sand and dirt from the felt soles on your wading boots will prolong their life. The build up of sediment can pack hard into the felt. This can affect comfort and will lead to failure of the glue bond. Maintain by spraying down with a garden hose until clean.
Fishing Tips Number Four:
Steelhead spend the majority of the time in prime holding waters when traveling through their birth river on the way to spawn. Most commonly this water will be at a depth of three to six feet. River bottom make up is also important as these areas will have an adequate amount of gravel and boulders. Gravel is suitable for spawning and the larger boulders will provide current breaks for fish to rest.
Fishing Tips Number Five:
To prevent line slippage with braided lines (commonly mistaken for drag failure) put one to two wraps of masking tape or about twenty yards of monofilament line on the spool prior to filling.
Fishing Tips Number Six:
Lubricating the worm shaft with light grease &/or oil on a regular basis will improve casting distance tremendously. Use same brand oil and grease. If grease is dry, apply oil to freshen. Remember to have your reel serviced once a year to clean, inspect and apply fresh lubricant.
