[QUOTE="airshot, post: 509050, member: 1183"] Finally finnished cleaning up my 6 perch fishing rods and reels from all those shinner minnow scales...whew..what a job !! Someone should create a glue from these sticky scales !! After soaking for hours in dawn, simple green and plain hot water, after using scotch brite pads and a brass wire brush, I still had to use a plastic scraper to get them off. Learned my lesson, will never let them build up like that again. Also coated everything with some auto wax in hopes of making this job easier in the future!! At least it will look like I have all new fishing gear when next season starts !! I have to say, my reels work really smooth now that they are cleaned and lubed, won't wait so long in the future...lesson learned !! [/QUOTE]
