Pam nonstick spray.

No, really nothing works as far as I can tell. Its just a pain and you gotta fish accordingly.

you just have to get over it..

every pond has mossy crap.. and in the mossy crap, are fish

doc · 04-14-09, 04:26 PM

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.

We tend to get weed choked up here in Michigan

3dkicker · 04-16-09, 10:23 AM

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.

ejvesper · 04-16-09, 11:37 AM

No good way I know of to keep it off...just do like bama said and just pick it off....just part of the "fun"....

Mac2 · 04-17-09, 08:59 AM

an old toothbrush helps to remove it from lures....saves a little time

For those of you in the southeast this may cause confusion. I have included a picture so you will understand the device MAC mentioned.
