Tips
- Store rod disassembled.
- Remove debris. Rinse the entire rod with fresh water and let it dry before storing. Place in soft casing or on a rack system in a dark area at room temperature, without any humidity or direct sunlight.
- Graphite is a form of carbon. It is extremely light weight yet very strong and flexible but can be prone to damage if flexed too hard. During transportation of the fishing rod, place it inside a safe area to prevent anything from falling on or bumping into it.
- Avoid striking your rod, hanging lures and hooks from guides, and don’t let lures bang the top guide/tip. Furthermore, do not do a high-stick and over-flex your rod, which usually happens when fighting fish. Avoid lifting your rod over 90 degrees when catching large fish to prevent it from snapping.
- Carry your rod horizontally, the tip pointing behind you to prevent breakage.
