Anybody have a good idea to keep fire ants off your rod grip ? My hands look like I've been playing with bull nettles.

How are they getting on your rod grip? You might try putting both your rod grip and your rod on bank sticks to keep it off the groud.

There are a lot of organic products used to keep ants out of gardens (try vinegar, mint, camphor, tansy, or clove oil). Do a Google search on repelling ants from gardens. You could keep your rod on a rod holder or bank stick so the ants have only one way to get to it, then spray your repellent (organic, of course) on the ground around the base of the rod holder. Also, clean the handle of the rod to remove any fish slime--that's probably why they ants are on the rod in the first place.

Just whip it out and pee on 'em. They won't be back for awhile.

Wouldnt suggest spraying OFF anywhere near your line/reel
Most of the time, it works every time.
