habits and care. Friday light note day.lol

[Ray11]

After an awesome days fishing, I always get home and perform my ritual.And I wondered how many people do the same or similar things.

 I rinse my reels, take a shower (sometimes the rods go with and get rinsed off)

Then dry them and they get placed in their bags for the next trip. Sometimes I make traces for the next trip before relaxing.

What kinda rituals and care do you take to look after your equpiment and why?

As soon as I get home - all my fishing equipemt is washed with fresh water & left to dry outside.

My rod comes with me in the shower, once cleaned, I leave it to dry.

You will never think I am a fisherman if you come to my place. Hahahaha

First time I've heard about rods showering with the owner!! HAHA

Probably the worst "ritual" to perform is cleaning the bait cooler!!

An extension of their souls. But I suppose we all have these rituals that make us so much more passionate about the sport.

I agree cleaning a bait box is not very pleasant. What I do is is to fill the bait box with water and add "Jik" or similar, Leave it for a while and no further odors.

I also wash my tackle bag with "Jik". All except the hooks.

No odors.

Happy Family
