I hereby declare....
Today is official ifish line changing day!
Strip all the line of your steelhead reels, and either put on new, or at least reverse it.
Then, as long as you have them out, clean them!
Then, as long as your rods are out, clean the corks and remove all traces of herring scales and egg goop!
This is a direct order!
:smile:

Re: I hereby declare....
Uh.....yes ma'am :whazzup:
Even if I had all of my rods here at the office, I don't think anyone else would appreciate tripping over the piles of slinky looking mono covering the entire floor

Re: I hereby declare....
Think I'll turn around my tuff and fire line before I'll give up on it. What is the miracle solvent for that herring scale glue anyway.

Herring scale removal: Fingernails!
Kinda fun! Sit around, watch TV, and pick herring scales off your rod.
Except then they are on your couch...
and the floor...
and the coffee table...
