AT Pro camlocks

[Dancer]

Lots of talk about cleaning camlocks lately. I knew my cams on my Pro been frozen for at least 3 years. So kicked myself down to the laundry tub to give the shaft a bath. (After taking the controls off) Had to run hot water over the cams to loosen up all the corruption, (salt, sand, dirt) Took a little wrestling, but got everything loosened up and ready to go. Bottom shaft got scored some from the sand. Smoothed it out with a fine file. Can't blame anyone but myself over this. Ain't going to happen again!

Same thing happened a few years ago after I had taken it in the water. Did not even think about cleaning the cam locks afterwards. After some fussing, I was able to get them apart. Have not had that problem again. However, I make sure to clean the poles and cam locks each time after I have been in the water.

Not much of an issue since I do not do a lot of water hunting but is sure nice to have that capability.

Same thing here...I took both camlocks completely off...makes changing batteries easier...and I also filed the lower rod and slicked it up after I hammered it out of the tube it was so locked up from grit..
now its fine!
