Add some RV antifreeze to your live wells. Pour in just enough for the recirculating pump to run with the antifreeze, then drain it all out. I also pour a bit into the bilge. Store the motor vertically so all water can drain out and none can enter the prop exhaust. Also, remove any water-based products from your boat storage areas. 

In the northern regions, I bring my batteries inside whenever possible. If that's not an option, I keep the Lead/Acid/AGM on the charger. I leave the lithium batteries at a 50-80% charge for long-term storage.

For reels:

Moisture that enters the reel can freeze and expand, potentially damaging the internal components.

For rods:

Graphite and carbon fiber rods can become more brittle in freezing temperatures, increasing the risk of breakage.

Rod guides may accumulate ice, which can harm both the guides and your line.

Metal components can slightly contract in extreme cold, posing a risk of guide rings popping out.

Significant fluctuations in temperature can affect the integrity of rod blanks over time.

Tim Dodson It's all the shoveling that builds the muscle. ;-) I want to be a snowbird so bad.

Adversity is dope! The cold makes you stronger, LOL.

Snowbird is my ideal future.

James Haulbrooks SWEET!!! Glad that BardeRodz Workhorse "worked" for you.

That SUF Hoodie must have given a 60% luck boost as well.

Cool, enjoy the Expo. We need some swag featuring the logo from the app/community, you know, the one in the upper left of this screen.
