Periodically dunk your rod in the water. That should clear the ice from
the guides.


Have you (or anyone else) tried that Loon product that's supposed to keep
the guides from icing up?

I think it's a Loon product anyway.

I haven't - it seems like there should be something that would cause the
water to bead up and slide quickly off the guides, but without gummng up the
line. Sort of like RainX on the car windshield.

I've heard ChapStick works but haven't tried it.

I'm wondering if soap will work - saddle soap, maybe.
I have a little tube of lanolin that I use instead of chapstick. Stinks a
bit but is sovereign for chapped lips. Could be something else to try.
Anyhow, maybe this weekend . . .
