ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 15, 2009 – If winter has shut down your fishing, now is the time to open up the tacklebox and get your gear ready for the spring.  A newly released, 18-minute online video from BoatUS Angler expert Capt. Steve Chaconas shows how to do a “Winter Tacklebox Overhaul” at http://www.BoatUS.com/videos

The video offers suggestions on how to repair and maintain tackle, including how to properly lubricate reels, inspect and repair rod guides, sharpen hooks and bring back lures to like-new condition.

“Everyone wants to save money and by taking good care of your tackle your fishing dollars will go much farther,” said Chaconas.
