Andy Rowe:
Hi Brandon,

I've also noted the corrosion pits on some of my spools when changing out braid.

What do you think about the merits of spraying some anti corrosion spray onto the spool prior to laying line. I guess it would only be a short term solution.

Cheers
Andy

Brandon Khoo:
I think it is worth doing, Andy but is still not substituet for removing and washing the line and cleaning the spool underneath.

Chris Young:
Whenever I get a new reel or spool I give them a really good spray of INOX and let them sit for a couple of days before spooling up. Then I just wash them in the shower after every outing and lightly spray with INOX again. Then let them dry out propperly before puting away. Varivas line conditioner is good sh@#. Use it & love what it does. I recall someone telling me recently that some competition fly casters use a CRC 303 (or something similar) to treat their lines for extra slickness and shootability, apparently it does not damage the coating on the fly lines so I guess it would also be good on braid AND help stop corrosion. Could be that my liberal use of Inox is good for the braid too!
