Corrosion On Guides
Took out my rods today and noticed one of them....about 3 years old, has some light corrosion beginning on the guides. You know...that green haze?  Any tips on what to clean them with that will remove the corrosion without damaging the guides?  I clean them really well after each use. WD-40? |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

WD-40 and a Scotchbrite pad lightly buffed. Before each season and several times a year I give my rods (guides included) a good washing and then a coat of good car wax and buff out, Water beads right off and doesn't gain any purchase on the metal work. ( psst, hey Larry, you should be fishing!!!!)  |
Why even try.........

this is waht I do
Avoid walking barefoot; use shower shoes.
Reduce perspiration by using talcum powder.
Wear light and airy shoes.
Wear socks that keep your feet dry, and change them frequently if you perspire heavily.
Treatment
Fungicidal and fungistatic chemicals, used for athlete's foot treatment, frequently fail to contact the fungi in the horny layers of the skin. Topical or oral antifungal drugs are prescribed with growing frequency.
In mild cases of the infection it is important to keep the feet dry by dusting foot powder in shoes and hose. The feet should be bathed frequently and all areas around the toes dried thoroughly.
Buy antifungal medication online, click here for Tineacide Antifungal.

i would soak the guides with WD-40 and wipe away Thoroughly. also wash your rod including your guides with fresh water after fishing Thoroughly. wipe you guides after fishing with a wet facecloth to prevent rust

LArry...you seem to only have two options here....
1...Stop soting your rods outside...could be acid rain cxausing sorrosion
2...Stop purcasing Zebco "Snoopy Series" Equipment and splurge on at least a Tica |

I had the same issues back in the day. I fixed it for good by adding a light coat of epoxy around the metal frames on the guides.
