Anyone know of anything you can "dip" your chain that you use for trolln, to keep it from rusting? Any ideas of a coating that someone has used with success?

Spray it with some of that bedliner stuff.
Go ahead and buy some Stainless Steel Chain and it wont rust!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah....been looking at some. Just already have a couple pieces and thought it would be cheaper just to coat it. They proud of that stainless!!!!Quote:

Thought about that....was just hoping someone had already tried something that I know would work.Quote:

Yeah I have 2 socks too.....the chains are just much easier to deal with when the wind ain't to bad. Please keep me updated when you do have them out a few times.....Thanks againQuote:

Get you a couple of bicycle inner tubes. Cut them and slide chain into them. Use wire ties to pinch them off at each end. Won't scratch up anything,less likely to tangle with anything and no rust to rub off on anything.
Wonderfull idea!!. Thanks!!Quote:

I keep my chains in a small bucket.
Rusty chain is better than smooth chain. It slows the boat better since the surface area is rough and grabs mud better.
