--> QUOTE(Norm B @ Jan 3 2007, 05:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try not to spray WD 40 on your line or into the reel, it's bad news. really? i found that it keeps it from rusting and going manky. I avoid getting it on the line, but i put it into the moving parts of the reel, and so far it doing well. If it not a good idea, what should i do to keep it moving and smooth? YoungRod

Just went and had a wipe, it was really salty and dirty, proberly from the weed i caught today! There was a faint scuff on the end ring, but not major. Thanks for the advice, YougRod

Hi all, Of course, after fishing i come back and rinse my reel off in cool, fresh water and lightly spray it with lubricant, i tidy my bag up and check for damage, but what other precautions, or tips would you give me to keep my kit clean and functional? I havn't had too many problems with my gear, but every-so-often my line breaks or a hooks snaps, and i put it down to being well used and strained. I just want to make sure i don't make any mistakes, and ruin my trips, because of dirty gear. All tips would be welcome, Thanks YoungRod

COOL! I gonna have to check it out, I take your local to Southend? I live on Canvey. Canvey has a pretty good tackle shop now, its huge, and loads of gear... Aladins cave springs into mind... Happy new year, YoungRod

Hi there i managed to get out on saturday. although i didn't catch anything , i thourghly enjoyed it. i saw loads of trawlers (at least 10) all going out. i was wondering if there were many fish about. checking my records (i keep a diary of every session) i havn't caught a thing this year! I'm glad that other people are catching though Y.R

apparently, mines and bombs and such have been found in the thames quite regulary. though i have never seen one, most people say that wreckage from ships and planes still have explosives (live and ready) still inside!
