    Default cleaning Rods


    After 5 years, my PST trolling rods are getting dull and dirty...How is the best to clean them?

    I use soap and water. You will probably find that the dull look comes from exposure to sun light.

    I break mine down twice a year. I have not found an easy way to remove fish slime mixed with minnow scales. I just keep cleaning until I get them clean. The
    last time I cleaned them, I put canuba wax on them (not on the foam handles). They looked like new but it didn't last long. I have used Dawn, WD-40, Greased
    Lighting, and Awsome. Didn't find one better than the other.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    A soft bristled brush really helps a lot sometimes

    Baby wipes work great, waxing them helps as once you get them clean too.

    Sos pad will slick them up. Then wd40 on reels. Then wipe them down.
