Tackle care begins when tackle is bought. If you by some line and place it on the rear deck of your car where it will be in the sun for a long time, you are setting the stage for that line to fail when you take it out of the container to use it. When you by a reel, mount it on a rod, and, then throw it into a car trunk where it will rattle around with jacks and tires, and is exposed to extreme temperatures, don't be surprised if that rod or reel is damaged when you take it out to fish. |
