Ice Shanty pole Lubricant

[Gillgrabber]

I bought a new Clam Yukon shanty and have been told I should lubricate the poles.  Can anyone recommend a quality lubricant that works in cold weather and won't gum up?

Graphite will make a mess, trust me on this.

I have used the spray lubricant called Rem lube.  It drys to a powder.

The best was carwax.   It goes on easy, and lasts all season.


Hope this helps,

My Frabill came with a note "use Ski Wax on the aluminum poles"

Regular Chapstick. Cheap and not messy

I used car wax on my Yukon for the first time this year, from now it will be a regular thing.

Spray silicone.

I concur. I just spray silicone on the metal, buff it in with a towel and done, invisible, dry protection from ice up.

I just tried the car wax trick on my Yukon shelter, rubbed it on let dry for a few seconds and wiped off to make smooth, went out fishing and i did not find that the car wax did much help, i think i will try the chapstick if not then maybe silicone spray
