I don't know how many of you do this, but I just completed my mid season check-up and cleaning of my fishing gear.  This is about mid season for me and with the amount of time I spend on the water it's always a good idea.  Starting with a light clean up of my reels, not the complete break down I give them before the season begins, and ending with checking the bearings on the boat's trailer. This year I discovered a knicked guide on one of my rods and upon inspection, freyed line on the reel mounted to it. In one of the many utility boxes I keep stored in the boat I found condensation on the inside lid that could have resulted in rusted hooks. Not to mention low acid levels in my batteries, bearing buddies and hitch ball needing lube, tires a little low on air.  You get the idea.

Weather or not you put a lot of time on the water or not, it's a good idea to give your gear a check-up at least once during the season. At the very least you may avoid loosing a fish and at the most a breakdown on the side of the road that can cost you a lost day's fishing or more.
