No more fishing in winter, the rods need to be taken care of carefully to prolong their life. If the carbon fishing rod is not used, then it is best to put it into the original box. After putting it in the original box, do not put it in a normal room, but store it in a dry storage room where the temperature is often kept between 20 and 25C and the humidity is not more than 60. For rods without original box, put them into the cloth rod case first, and then put them into the rod bag. The rod box and rod bag should be put in the storage room standing up, not horizontally, so as not to crush and deform.
At the end of spring every year, when the difference between day and night temperature and room temperature is small, open the storage room to let indoor and outdoor air circulation, and take out the new carbon fishing rod with chamois (or with glasses cloth) section by section to gently wipe the floating dust clean. After wiping the dust of the old rod, put on a thin layer of wax to keep the rod clean and bright (new rods do not need to wax). Then take the rods back to the storage room. If you don't have a storage room at home, you can make a cabinet with tight doors and put the rods in the cabinet. Keep the cabinet out of direct sunlight, and keep the room temperature not too high in summer, 28 to 30C or below; not too cold in winter, 18 to 20C.
Never put the rods as decorations one by one pulling and connecting well on the wall. Over time, carbon rods not only dust (often wipe the rod will make the surface of the waterproof paint bright quality reduced), but also easy to deformation. At the same time, this kind of polymer manufacturing items have aging problems, its aging factors are three, namely light aging, heat aging and UV aging. Leaving carbon rods exposed in indoor space for a long time will also accelerate their aging. Therefore, it is better to store these rods in a storage room or storage cabinet that is protected from light and constant temperature in order to prolong its life.
