Salt Dissolving Spray Liquid

Anybody use this sort of stuff? I always wash off my rods/reels with the garden hose but is that stuff better? What's in it?? Somehow whenever I take a reel off a rod there is a bunch of salt on the reel seat, etc...

We all live for 7 seconds of screaming drag...

salt removers

I use it once or twice a year to clean my boat, trailer, and truck (after running the beaches). I have no idea how well it works, but I like the extra security of knowing I'm getting everything clean. So far so good, but the stuff is expensive.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

the stuff your talking about is called SALT-X i use it to clean most of my scuba gear it works great on fishing gear too. a local scuba shop would most likely have it in stock. i belive salt-x is selling a hose attachment that mixes the salt-x and water into one stream. its good stuff!!

heres there web site http://www.salt-x.com/

todays schoolie is tomorrows keeper,todays keeper is tomorrows cow,practice catch and release!!!.

GOD BLESS THE NRA!!!!

Stuff works great. I bought a concentrate bottle 2 years ago, still going strong. Makes like 32 batches. A lot of times I will have a bottle in the back of the truck and just spray it on rods and reels before the ride home.

It's good stuff.

I think the biggest appeal is that it's non-toxic and it isn't greasy like most of the other sprays you might use on your fishing gear.

And it works...

but what is it???
Keep in mind that you are mixing it with the same garden hose water that they say is no good anyway....
Is there an ingredient list label?
I'm willing to bet not.....

It only breaks salt down... I use it on my R/C's when i drive them the beach to keep the salt from eating the aluminum and to keep from using solvent based cleaners that will degrease the bearings...

I use it on my reels once in a blue moon, actually just once a year at the end of the season..
