Good question. Should you loosen the rig for winter storage? I've been advised to leave the rig tension alone unless you cranked it up to banjo tight and can play tunes on it. If you tensioned the rig for racing, you might want to remove any excessive tension, a turn, but unless it's bar tight, live it alone. The reason given is that the aluminum mast will shrink more than the stainless rod during the colder temperatures. Chuck S
