How To

How do I clean my fishing equipment?

There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. Use soap and water is the most popular method. Always rinse your item after washing it. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection.

Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. You may need to use solvents or detergents that are specific to your gear.

Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, use warm water with a dishwashing solution.
