General Info: Insect Replant

Insect repellent should be a part of every angler's standard equipment. You need to be careful when applying repellents because many will eat fly lines and leaders. Some insect repellents will even ruin your watchband.

To avoid destroying your gear, apply insect repellent containing DEET using the back of your hands. Also remove your sunglasses and store them out of harms way (especially if they have plastic lenses).

The importance of insect repellent continues to rise as more and more insect-born diseases are discovered.
