I use a plastic spudger to get stubborn shellaced grease off, pointed On one end can get in nooks & crannies. The flat end for larger flat areas. I like gun brushes also the Small end can get in tight places.

It needs a new rod home. It won't fit the reel seat on the inshore rod i have. I'm looking at options, and should have a rod for it in a few weeks. But it does fit one of my ugly stik tigers. Might throw some swimbaits at local largemouth later this week.

NICE.
