How to Care For Your Fishing Tackle - A Guide for the Expert or Novice Fisherman!
The angler's relationship with his equipment is a sacred one. Fishing tackle provides us with many hours of great fishing experience. In return, if we can spare but a few minutes to take care of it, we will be avoiding expensive trips to fishing shops for repairing and replacing equipment.
Maintaining fishing tackle is not a difficult task. It can easily be carried out by the most inexperienced of fishermen with materials that are easily available. What is usually lacking is the knowledge. This article aims to provide the novice fisherman with instructions and tips on how to care for his or her fishing tackle.
Fishing Reel
Fishing reel is one of the most delicate parts of fishing tackle because it is composed of moving parts. Regular maintenance and lubrication of fishing reels will greatly extend the lifespan of your fishing reel and ensure that it provides you with many hours of enjoyable fishing.
Always use freshwater to rinse out your reels, especially if you've been saltwater fishing. Dry the reel gently with a soft towel and use WD-40 or other similar sprays for lubrication, and to retard the effects of corrosion. Do not forget to put a drop or two of oil on your level wind gear.
Once in a while the reel should be carefully examined for nicks and cuts. Clear nail polish should be used to fill in any scratches on the reel. This is also a good moment to tighten the screws on your reel. This could make the crucial difference between your successfully landing a large catch, or your reel disintegrating under the strain.
If you are storing your fishing tackle for prolonged periods, it is also a good idea to loosen the drag on reel. This will prolong the life of the metal crush washers on the drag stack.
Fishing rods
Although fishing rods are probably the sturdiest part of fishing tackle, many rods have been broken by getting caught in doors, getting banged about in boats, or due to improper storage. Always take special care to ensure that your rod does not get involved in such unfortunate accidents.
Rods can also be periodically rinsed with freshwater to prolong their life. Do ensure that you dry them properly afterwards. The guides are the most delicate parts of fishing rods. These must be checked for snags by running a cotton tipped swab through and through. Always inspect the guides after saltwater fishing for signs of corrosion.
Fishing line
A fishing line is one of the most important parts of fishing tackle as your ability reel in fish depends on the strength and sensitivity of the line. When fighting a fish, the line tends to rub against rocks, logs, other fish, or hard objects. The consequent abrasions weaken the line. Hence it is very important to check for nicks and abrasions that weaken the line. If you find that a portion of the line is frayed, then it is a good idea to cut it off, rather than to have the line part when you are reeling in a good catch.
Monofilament line can also be damaged by prolonged exposure to excess sunlight or heat. Keep your fishing tackle in a cool, dry, shaded area when not in use. Avoid keeping fishing tackle in hot car trunks or in the back seat of the car where they are exposed to direct sunlight. Bulk line should also be stored in a cool and dark place.
Balance
A good fishing tackle should be well balanced. Always ensure that the rod, reel, line, and lure are compatible with each other. Do not use a light outfit with a heavy line or a heavy lure with a light outfit. Improperly balanced fishing tackle will not only be more susceptible to breakages and damages, but will also degrade your fishing performance.

Fishing on the Edge $11.99 With his colorful tattoos and booming hip-hop sound track, Mike Iaconelli has turned the world of big-money competitive bass fishing upside down. In Fishing on the Edge , Iaconelli tells his own story–and it’s a whopper: a Philly-born, Jersey-bred Yankee who’s been stealing the spotlight from bass fishing’s traditionally all-Southern anglers, attracting fans and dominating one of the fastest-growing sports in America. How did Mike Iaconelli, a college-educated kid from New Jersey, come blasting into a sport dominated by old-school stars like Gary Klein, Kevin VanDam, and Denny Brauer? How did Mike, aka “Ike,” take a secret childhood passion and turn it into a profession, earning million-dollar sponsorships and a storm of media attention, ranging from ESPN’s SportsCenter to profiles in The New York Times and Esquir e? While Mike has attracted both fans and foes on the tour, his success speaks for itself, especially his victory at the 2003 CITGO Bassmaster Classic, the Super Bowl of competitive fishing. Forty-four million Americans fish, but no one does it quite like Mike Iaconelli. In Fishing on the Edge , he lets you in on the secrets to his extraordinary success–how he developed his “power” fishing style, how he attacks the water, positions the boat, and perseveres through those days when the bass just aren’t biting. With sidebar tips that can be used by any fisherman–from using spinner baits to picking out the right rod to his no-fail “secret weapons”–this is an intensive, informative, and often raucous journey through the life of a brash young man destined to do for fishing what Tony Hawk did for the X Games: take the sport to a whole new level. At the same time, it’s the compelling first-person story of a man who prepared carefully every step of the way, kept notes on every fish he ever caught, and executed the perfect plan to get to the top. A tale of passion, competition, and extreme personality, Fishing on the Edge is a book for anyone who loves the sport of fishing, wants to turn a hobby into a career, or is simply fascinated by a man’s unstoppable drive to succeed. From the Hardcover edition. |

Harvest the Wind $27.95 Winds sweeping across the Great Plains once robbed the Farm Belt of its future, stripping away overworked topsoil and creating the dreaded Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Today, those winds are bringing new hope to the declining rural communities of the central United States. Nowhere is wind's promise more palpable than in Cloud County, Kansas, home to the Meridian Way Wind Farm, whose turbines are boosting farm incomes and bringing green jobs to a community that has watched its children flock elsewhere. Modern wind power is the best thing to hit this stretch of midwestern prairie since the Union Pacific railroad. In Harvest the Wind, Warburg brings us the people behind the green economy-powered resurgence in Cloud County and communities like it across the United States. This corner of Kansas is the first stop on an odyssey that introduces readers to farmers, factory workers, biologists, and high-tech entrepreneurs--all players in a transformative industry that is taking hold across America and around the globe. Harvest the Wind serves as an earthly antidote to the more abstract treatises on global warming and green energy. By showing us how practical solutions are being implemented at the local level, Warburg offers an inspirational look at how we can all pursue a saner and more sustainable energy future. |

Zonda Wind $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Zonda wind (in Spanish, viento zonda) is a regional term for the foehn wind that often occurs on the eastern slope of the Andes, in Argentina. The Zonda is a dry wind (often carrying dust) which comes from the polar maritime air, warmed by descent from the crest, which is some 6,000 m (18,000 ft) above sea level. It may exceed a velocity of 40 km/h (25 mph).While this type of fhn wind may occur over most central parts of western Argentina, its effects are more impressive in La Rioja, San Juan, and northern Mendoza provinces, because the mountain barrier (the Andes) is higher, while to the north the Puna plateau dissipates these winds.The Zonda wind is basically produced by the northeastward movement of polar fronts, and although is hot and dry at the lowlands, it is the main mechanism for snow precipitation at the high altitude chains, where it looks as viento blanco, reaching speeds sometimes over 200 km/h. Thus, instead of being a snoweater, this wind is particularly important for this arid region, as it is connected to the buildup of the winter snow cover and accumulation over the scarce local glaciers.
