Just finished up paying a few bills (no, I don't do auto-pay for EVERYTHING) and had a few minutes of free time.

I remembered that my dedicated Pyramid Lake fishing vest zippers, on the pockets, were becoming a little more difficult to zip and un-zip..........use and the alkaline water most likely the probable cause.

I grabbed my chunk of candle that I use to wax my rod ferrules and gave 'em a good rubbing back and forth.......... on the closed teeth part.

I zipped and un-zipped each zipper a half dozen times and they work "like new" again.

I recently had to replace a fubared zipper on my favorite trout vest because I "forced it" open and closed too many times ................................. and I don't ever want to do that again !!!!!

If you have a few minutes to burn................lube up your vest(s) zippers.

Blowing out a vest zipper while fishing will detract you from your day of fishing.
