Like all tools, fly rods need proper care, maintenance and handling for optimum performance and longer life: Regular maintenance: although you dont have to do this after every use (unless saltwater fishing), keep your rod, rod rings, ferrules and reel seat clean and free of dirt using mild soapy water with a soft cloth or old toothbrush, and ensure your rod is fully dry before putting it back in its rod bag General handling: avoid extreme bends (pull on the line not the rod if your fly is caught), be careful with hard surfaces, car doors and windows, try never to lay your rod on the ground and always transport it using the protective rod tube Storage: when not in use, store in a cool, dry place and give it a full clean (allowing it to dry) before putting it away for the season 4
