How do you clean your fishing gear?

Untreated, this can cause bad smells and worse infections. A good way to prevent this is to dry the items completely before storing them. You should also avoid touching the item's surfaces when cleaning. The risk of spreading germs is high if you touch dirty objects.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water.

Oils and fats on the surface of gear are often responsible for staining. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
