Got up at four this morning and drove to the dam on the Ohio river at Belleville caught four sauger before I froze out. it was 23 deg. Guides keep freezing up I wonder if any rod co. Makes a rod with heated guides. Could be some $$ in that.

If you put vaseline on the first few guides, it will help some, Mike.

Maybe some smart fella could invent/design some kind of chemical spray to coat eyelets to prevent icing without damaging mono or fluoro-carbon line ?

Yep that is real good
Try cleaning The eyelits with a toothbrush and wiping down the rod. apply an industrial grade silicone spray and let it dry thoroughly before use. Sometimes a 2nd coat for colder and icier conditions will help as well. Let it dry over night. The silicone repels a lot of water reducing ice build up. Nothing will stop the icing completely but prepping your rods with the silicone sure helps when we deal with winter temps...
