Fishing tackle tip: Fill in warranty cards After purchasing new fishing rods, always return your warranty card so that the manufacturer knows who you are and can look after your fishing rod if it is faulty. Fishing tackle tip: Watch your fly line When Salmon Fishing, do not strike immediately but keep a loop of fly line in your hand and allow the Fish to take the loop then lift the rod this will then set the hook and give you a better chance of landing the fish. Fishing tackle tip: Take proper care of carbon fibre fishing rods When a carbon fibre fishing rod jams it is tempting to loosen the joints with WD 40. This is one of the biggest mistakes you could make as this will have an adhesive effect on the carbon fibre.
