PAGE 6A Wednesday, November 16,1994, Houston Times-Journal Fall is time to do maintenance on fishing rigs Everyone is wondering if (he cool weather is here to stay for a while. Personally, I don’t think so. Every year around “fair time”, we will usually have a cold snap. Years back, there would always be a small frost during this little cold snap. It would only last for a cou ple of weeks and then the warm weather would be back on us for several more weeks. If you’re not a year round fish erman, this is a good time to get some of your gear clean and ready for storage. Most of you probablly don’t even bother to clean that fa vorite rod and reel It just gets stuck Mts JhflU : K ELs& JU ~ ' **MSr 9HH ■ ® Wtmßm : —W ' Gary Bramlett shows off a 200 pound plus wild hog that he recently killed.

The high school football sea son, which has been going on since the last week in August, is over. The playoffs are here. The second season, where all of the playoff contenders start even Regular sea son records have dictated which teams make their respective region playoffs, and who will play whom, but every team is 0-0. Some teams, granted, have a decided edge. Those with playoff traditions who keep coming back year after year. Teams like Valdosta, Warner Robins, Southwest DeKalb, Thomson, Dal ton, Cedartown, Mary Persons, Carrolton, Lincoln County and Manchester, who seem to make the playoffs every year. Recently, teams like Peach County, Macon County and Thomas County Cen tral have joined the parade.

Then next year you wonder why it doesn’t work as well as it used to. With a little time on your part, your fishing equipment will last for many years without major repairs. Susanne and I have casting reds that are 15-16 years old and used year round and we still have not had any major problems with them. I have replaced some gears, a couple of drag washers and several springs that have broken from extended use.

Think about it a minute. Why do we buy new rods and reels.? Most of the time we think we need another one or the old one is 4 or 5 years old and close to being on its last leg. One of die biggest reasons is that the manufacturer has come out with a new “how to get better results feature” that we just gotta have. Between us, we have in the boat during a tournament 25-30 rods and reels. This sounds like and is a lot of equipment, but in our case a lot of this equipment is spe cialized type of equipment. For those of you who don’t fish all year round, take the time to do a little preventative maintenance and protect your investments during the off season. The very first thing to do is to strip all the line off the spools. Line is relatively cheap and leaving it stored for a long period of time will give it a “memory” Once all the line has been stripped off, then completely tear down the rest IjPMHi M ■L M*'* 1 I-, .. 4 T*i>;« Ibvl cssaaSHHl Ajt: Pl '" Moto ' o i i ■■ !! «■» 11 your choice! |vaaonei[ Havoline Motor Oil Prestone Super Anti- Red Ryde^ All Weights Antifreeze Rust, Super Flush or Gas Shocks jg.

If you are afraid to tear down a reel, there are several people in the area who will do it for you for a nominal fee. Once the reel has been thoroughly cleaned, lubricate it with the proper grease and/or oil. The next thing I do is to place the reel in a zip lock bag with a moisture barrier pack and store. Don’t put die reel back on the rod and set it in the comer. It will spend the winter collecting dust and all of the hard work will be for nothing. Youl’re not through yet., We still have a rod that hasn’t been cleaned and checked for nicks and cracks in the eyes and ferrules. Most of today’s rods are graphite or graphite combination or boron and al! have ceramic guides. Both of these combinations are great BUT are fragile if not properly cared for. A tiny crack or groove in the ce ramic eye will cause the line to break and one day you’ll lose a good fish. Again. it”s not hard to replace these items yourself, but there are people who do it profes sionally if you had rather not. A good rod job will cost about S2O - 50 depending on what has to be done. Once you have the rod cleaned, checked and repaired, if necessary, storage for it is just as important as the reel. If at all pos PDQ SPECIAL ORDER MERCHANDISE NOT SUBJECT TO SALE PRICES sible, store the rod in a rack or even a gun cabinet to keep them straight and no weight on them. With a little bit of effort and el bow grease, you can make your equipment last a lot of years.
