The fact that most poles are made from carbon fibre which is a very delicate material means that it is very important to look after your poles to help maintain it in good condition and extend its life for as long as possible. The following points will help you to do this: -
- Always keep the outer and inner parts of your pole clean and free from dirt.
- Remember a dirty pole on the outside will make it dirty inside once it is put away. This is where a lot of the damage occurs as a tiny particle of grit can puncture a hole through a section if it is forced into the inside of another section when being put away.
- Clean your pole down with a damp cloth or sponge after the fishing session if it is dirty. The best way is to use Garbolino G Clean which is ideal for this.
- Always use pole rollers behind you when pole fishing. These will prevent wear and tear on the end of the pole as well as keep it secure preventing it from being blown about in the wind.
- Always ensure that these rollers are positioned correctly taking the weigt of the pole when it is shipped back.
- Always use a Garbolino Pole Sock to heep the front end of the pole secure when unshipped.
- A Garbolino Expanda Bung will also prevent damage at the base of the sections
