Cleaning the rod and cork.

Jonezee, I'm just cleaning it for something to do and my cork grip looks alot better now. It was a little dirty not much but you can see a difference. I am going to clean my line closer to opening day so t doesn't collect dust or anything.

JC, I used your method and it worked very good.

And whoever said car wax on the rod, it worked good but can't really see a difference because it wasn't really dirty.

Thank guys,
Nick

Dawn dish soap, ......cuts grease

What she, (Fly Goddess), said:

Dawn except I mix mine with a little Bon Ami on a sponge for the grip and just plain Dawn for the rod.

The blanks get polished with car polish once a year IF they have scratches and waxed once a year regardless.

BTW, besides Dawn's grease cutting ability it also does a great job with Poison Ivy plant oil. I also use it to clean my wading shoes after each trip so I don't get the mysterious cases of PI a week after my last foray into "Ivy Territory".

Personally I like the used handle look.

Try Windex works very well. Spray it on let it set for a min.wipe off with damp rag.
