horseplaydvm TFF Team Angler Registered: 05/07/09 Posts: 3054 Loc: Ok or Tx	I had some rods that were dirty and had mold on them. Used the Clorox wipes, thick ones in the purple container, and they look good as new! I now keep a container in the boat. _________________________

Hawg Dawg Pro Angler Registered: 03/07/08 Posts: 884 Loc: Deer Park & Zapata, TX	I have used GoJo hand cleaner with pumice and they turned looking like new also. The wipes seem as if they would be easier to use. _________________________ New PB: 10 lbs. 13 oz. Lake Falcon Old PB: 10 lbs. 4 oz Lake Falcon PB: Ind Sack 38 lbs. 4 oz PB: Team Sack 41lbs. 12 oz.

Reel Time Rods Angler Registered: 07/23/11 Posts: 366 Loc: Greenville, Texas	You can also use a product called U-40 cork sealer when your rods are new and never have to clean them again, it keeps the oils from your hands from penetrating into the cork. _________________________ Ron & Tina Grantham cell: 903-450-6400 www.reeltimerods.com www.facebook.com/reeltimerods Available at: www.martinprooutdoors.com www.oakridgemarina.com www.fishdevourit.weebly.com www.lakeforkgiants.com
