So your fishing rods don't get dirty and you can keep them in good condition for longer.

Additional advice

You can thus clean all the parts of your fishing rod:the reel, the fitting, the rings, the cork or the foam of the handle.

And this is valid for the maintenance of the different kinds of rods:match, spot, telescopic or predator.

But be careful not to get water into the fittings.

You can also use this trick to clean all other fishing gear, including hooks and bait.

Why does it work?

Baking soda is a very effective cleaner for your fishing tackle.

The advantage of using baking soda is twofold.

It is a mild abrasive that loosens dirt and silt, without damaging your equipment.

But it is also a powerful disinfectant for the various elements of your fishing rod.

It is interesting if you change body of water or river. You won't risk carrying bacteria or disease from one pond to another.
