Hi, This conference is full of good stuff..but i can't seem to find anything on this subject. What can be used to keep the ice from building on my guides when fishing in the fall/winter. i heard something about WD40, silicone spray, vasoline etc.. but i've also heard that these product will weaken your line. anyone care to comment. from the great white north, Ger.

A light coating of silicone spray will keep ice from forming without causing any line damage. Geez...it's been awfully quiet in here lately. Unfortunately, my boat got winterized this past weekend and stored up on blocks. Of course, if we get a weekend with the temps back up near 50, watch how fast it comes out of storage! Still... a VERY DEPRESSING WEEKEND! -Joe- | |||||

How about trying Rain-X on the guides and on the rod itself. If ice
does form, it will be a lot easier to remove.

I find keeping my rods inside during the winter prevents ice buildup
and makes for a comfortable day.
No hard water fishing for me

Another thing you can use is the Blakemore reel lubricant spray. Spray
guides, spools reduces memory and allows for better operation.
BPO has it. I was at the a seminar and it was highly regarded by Guido
and two other pro's .
