Your fishing gear deserves proper storage
Fishing is a year-round passion, and the kit keeps growing — rods, reels, landing nets, rod rests, rucksacks, tackle boxes and countless small accessories. There is simply not enough room in a city flat to store it all properly, especially when the whole family fishes.
Expensive rods and sensitive reel electronics require stable conditions — no temperature swings, no humidity, no sunlight. Otherwise, spring will bring corroded guides, cracked rings or seized mechanisms.
How to prepare fishing gear for storage
Rods and telescopic poles
- Remove all terminal tackle. Wipe rods with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent.
- Pay particular attention to the guide rings — remove any salt and residue deposits.
- Check for damage — treat scratches and hairline cracks with rod varnish.
- Place rods in transport tubes or padded sleeves. Store them vertically.
Reels
- Wipe clean with alcohol-based wipes to remove grease and grime.
- Back off the drag to minimum so the washers do not stick together.
- Store reels in their original boxes or soft cases.
Small accessories
- Sort through hooks, clips, swivels and floats — discard damaged items and store the rest in labelled organisers.
- Keep silicone and rubber lures separate from metal components.
Where not to store fishing gear
- Balcony — temperature fluctuations and UV radiation degrade carbon rods and line.
- Damp garage — humidity causes hook, reel and metal fitting corrosion.
- Basement — mould damages cork handles and fabric cases.
