This is gonna sound like a really silly question but this cleaning that is done to prevent the spread of invasive creatures as this mudsnail.. does that include cleaning the rod and reel .. reason I am asking is that I dont tube or toon yet.. so I am shore fishing.. I do get my shoes dirty or sandy but that is about the extent of major contact with the water except for the fishing line.. sooooooo do I need to get into a specific cleaning routine and if so what should I be doing????

[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Hi there mf55 - the lake that I mentioned had a lot of floating green algae while at the shore line was brown. It stuck to every part of my tube, flippers etc. My line had a fine film as well as my rod. Naturally I cleaned them too. Yes I would clean my shoes and equipment even if I didn't get them wet.[/size][/green][/font]
