After you have been fishing, rinse your reels in fresh water to get rid of salt, grit and other deposits.

Allow the reel to dry in a well ventilated area. For protection place it into a sock. When its in the foot of the sock, twist the sock and pull it back through its self, making a double skinned reel sausage.

You can send your reels away for servicing as per makers instructions or attempt DIY servicing.

Rember warrenties may become void if you select the DIY option.

Wreck fishing tips

• When you lower your sinker (weight) towards the wreck, use light thumb pressure on the spool to avoid over run.
• While you retrieve the sinker count the turns as you will often find fish at the same level next drift.
• Vary the speed of the retrieve to hunt the fish out, remember what works for the next drift over the wreck.
• Make sure you are well supported as freak swells often cause the boat to rock violently.
• Pre tie some rigs so if you snag you can get fishing quickly.
• Fish longer traces if the fish are hard to catch.
• Wear sun protection as I have seen many burnt wreck anglers.

and enjoy your day out!

The Chub will fall to Bread, Cheese and big black slugs!

You can lure fish for them also.

Happy fishing
