Take Care Of Your Gear Now, Fish Better Next Season

End-of-season gear maintenance is one of the most important (and most neglected) habits for saltwater anglers. A little time spent now can:

• Extend the life of your rods, reels, and waders
• Prevent expensive repairs and replacements
• Help your gear perform at its best on opening day next season

Salt, sand, and UV are rough on tackle and soft goods. If you have ever pulled a favorite reel out in the spring only to find it frozen up or corroded, you already know the cost of skipping this step.

To help you build a better maintenance routine, we are hosting a free virtual session featuring local anglers and gear experts Todd Treonze and Jeff Sullivan.
