What are the precautions for the maintenance of fishing gear and fishing line

As the key medium connecting the fishing gear and the fish in fishing activities, the stability and durability of the performance of the fishing line directly affect the success of fishing. Reasonable maintenance of the fishing line can not only extend its service life, but also ensure the best performance at the critical moment.

Choose high-quality fishing line
The first step to ensure the quality of the fishing line is to choose a reputable brand. There are many low-priced and low-quality fishing lines on the market. Although these products are attractively priced, they often have defects in strength, wear resistance and aging resistance. High-quality fishing lines usually have high strength, wear resistance, UV resistance and other characteristics, and can maintain stable performance in complex and changing fishing environments.

Comprehensive inspection before use
Before using the fishing line each time, be sure to conduct a comprehensive inspection. The inspection content includes whether there are scratches, knots or fluff on the surface of the fishing line. These minor damages may cause the line to break or the fish to escape at the critical moment. After discovering the problem, the fishing line should be replaced in time, and never take chances.

Scientific storage method
The storage of fishing line is crucial to its life. Unused fishing lines should be wound around a clean wooden board and then placed in a sealed plastic bag to reduce contact with air and prevent oxidation, dehydration and brittleness. For used fishing lines, first check their integrity, cut off the worn parts at both ends, wash with clean water and dry them, and then seal them for storage.
When storing fishing lines, avoid contact with hard objects or oily substances to prevent scratches or contamination. At the same time, fishing lines should be placed in a dry, light-proof and pollution-free environment, avoiding moisture, high temperature or direct sunlight to slow down the aging rate.

Protection measures during fishing
During fishing, the fishing line may be affected by external forces, such as stepping on or heavy objects pressing on the line, which may cause damage to the fishing line. Therefore, when fishing, try to avoid stepping on the fishing line or letting heavy objects press on the fishing line. In addition, when adjusting the position of the space bean, you should also pay attention to protecting the fishing line. When the space bean rises on the mother line, it may cause certain damage to the fishing line due to the effect of friction. Therefore, it is recommended to adjust the space beans underwater or in a wet state to reduce the impact of friction on the fishing line.

Importance of regular replacement of fishing lines
Fishing lines will gradually age over time, reduce their strength, and increase the risk of line breakage. Therefore, it is necessary to replace fishing lines regularly. Under normal circumstances, fishing lines that have been used for one to two years should be considered for replacement, especially for anglers who frequently fish for big fish, the frequency of replacement of fishing lines should be higher. When fishing for big fish, the fishing line is subjected to greater tension and is prone to damage, so timely replacement of fishing lines is crucial.

Cleaning and maintenance of fishing lines
After use, fishing lines should be cleaned and maintained in time. When cleaning, use a soft cotton cloth or paper towel to gently wipe the surface of the fishing line to remove residual dirt and moisture. For damaged parts of the fishing line, they should be cut off and replaced with new lines in time.
During maintenance, the cleaned fishing line should be easily wound on the reel, keeping the fishing line loose and avoiding tension. Long-term tension will cause the fishing line to lose its elasticity, which will affect its service life. At the same time, the reel should be stored in a dry and cool environment
