    Default Fishing Pole Maintenence?

    My fishing pole has me a bit worried lately.. It is barely relieving the line when a big fish hits it and when it finally does, it lets all the line out.. The actual line is also getting hard and is almost like twine or something now. So my question is how do I lube up the reel to make it all work smooth? And is there a way to make the line better, like adding some kind of very thin mineral oil or something to it? Maybe vegetable oil would be better. I am not sure on if this is a good idea or not though so that is why I came here. Maybe you can advise me expensive fishing pole? I play online casinos real money, that I found here https://casinos-advisor.com/ and can buy expensive pole.

    You can go online with the model of your reel and look up a manual and that will tell you where to lubricate and what to do it with. You can find reel lube at most sporting goods stores.

    Sounds to me like your line just needs to be replaced. A conditioner such as line butter may help you, although I have never used it.

    Your reel may also need parts as well, if oil does not help.

    Is the drag tightened down all the way? If it's letting line out with the drag tightened all the way, you may need new drag washers.

    Line wears out. Yours may need replacing instead of trying to get it limber again. It would suck to pop the line of the biggest fish of your life.

    Probably should just quit fishing or get a cane pole.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Take the fishing pole back to uncle buck in MN and get a fishing rod....
