Warning: don't use drying silica-gel when storing a rod, as silica can rapidly corrode metals if it comes into contact with them. E.g. An expensive rod might be unusable if the threaded locknut (holding the reel in place) is seized with rust.   kellyjones00 (593)

AFTMA rating: tackle is usually classified by weight (wt) to deal with heavier fish (e.g. sea fly-fishing) and the speed of the rod-tip (e.g. stiff and fast goes further but with less accuracy). Lower numbers are lighter. E.g.: - Reels: 6 or 6wt - lakes and streams (trout); 10+ - seafishing - Rods: the marking might be '9 - 6 - 4 - 1', meaning 9' long, 6 wt, disassembles into 4 pieces.   Panoculus (40)
