Turtle Wax

Recommended Posts

I'd like to pass on a couple of tackle tips. One thing is for checking guides for any nicks or burrs. Run a cotton ball thru them. If there are any nicks or burrs the cotton ball will catch on it. This is good to do when buying a new rod and periodically during the year.

Second.. try applying turtle wax to the ceramic guides to improve performance. Simply apply it with a Q-tip and then run a cotton ball thru the guide to buff it.

This can actually improve casting distance by reducing the friction the line has on the guide.

Thanks for the tips! They could prevent a lot of grief and salvage a fishing trip...

 

What would you use to take the nicks out with? Maybe some steel wool?

 

Thanks again!

Good tip. Probably better then using a womans nylons to check for nicks in the guides. It'll also keep your wife from putting a nick in your head.
