Cleaning Fishing Rods & Reels

[PZeiler]

Thought I would start a thread that may provide some people some help.

What do you use to clean your fishing rods and reels from minnow scales and worm guts and blood?

[Prkr314]

Nothing!....must be a trick question...you mean people actually clean scales off their poles?

Now that was funny...

[rsfrail]

Thats the truth, I tried once....but now I leave them scaley. It makes the gear look like there never put to rest or good fishing....When I did clean them, I used warm/hot water w/ little dish detergent, with alot of finger nail scrapping.

A scotch brite and warm water works well. But who cares?
