Thanks for all the feedback so far! Ive read just keeping a towel handy and wiping the eyelets after the reel in can help as well. I currently run fluro exclusively on all my rods. The 13 snitch is one of my favorite rods but the eyelets are so small that the smallest amount of water freezes up while im hole hopping, same case goes for the ticklestick....
Nothing more frustrating when your icing fish quickly from a school and cant get back down fast enough before they move on due to iced up eyelets....
Thanks again for the discussion. Ill give the lip balm a try this weekend (temps looking to be cold into sunday) and report back on how it worked out.
Tight lines!
