Nothing you can do, but to clean em off when your done, and dry em (helps prevent rusting) Use a can of compressed air, just a couple squirts, slime flies off, so does water.

The green slime or algea is annoying but using lighter weights or no weight helps. BA's topwater idea works too.
The black nasty stuff we find on Chick. lake only grows in really shallow water so we fish a little deeper and if we fish shallow we use very light weight. Also I've learned to twitch baits out of it without catching a lot of it. Then of course you have to pick it off the bait but since I'm pitching most of the time I'm grabbing the lure anyways. |
