[Corey_lax]

Ever heard of rinsing your gear? It tends to last a bit longer

 

[SteelyDan]

Haha

 

[CIVANO]

some of my torn and tattered with tape missing here and there are the most productive.

Ahem. Over here. I run a small fishing gear "recycling program". I will take your old things and hoard them

Save them for sockeye tied in tandem works great... the @high tide special

I wonder what a couple trains of 10 dummies on each side would look like? Plus 4 rods, that's 44. I need a sister ship and another driver to use the rest.
I've caught fish on the ones where all the tape falls off and it is just the blade and the white background. Also sprayed some black and added a bit of tape.
I hoard.

Is vinegar the trick for freeing up the swivels on old flashers? Seem to remember that from a previous thread?

 

[Dogbreath]

I have some at least a dozen years old that still produce and Yes they're cleaned regularly.

 

[SpringVelocity]

I dont toss mine. Just new sampo swivels when needed.

 

[fishchaser]

Spray them with WD-40, keeps them fresh and like new as well as lubricates to swivels. I have flashers that are 25 years old that I still bring out when none of the new UV schemes are working. Some times it helps to go old school when nothing else is working.

 

[Aces]

I re tape nine when necessary

soak in fresh water first, then try the vinegar if still stuck.

So I read online somewhere that if you hang up your old flashers it will keep crows away or something along that line. so I took about 10 flashers that I was no longer using and I hung them around my mechanic shop yard in a bit of a daisy chain.

See if it works
