Are you talking just the rod?  Or, the reel as well?  First, if it is really badly corroded, your best bet is to take it to a reel repair shop.  Any local tackle store can direct you to one.  If it isn't too bad, some WD40 with a wash cloth.  Not the smooth kind, but one with texture.  Let the WD sit for about an hour and a little elbow grease will take it off

taking the hard minerals out of the water and making it cleaner

Unfortunately this is a sign of disease in fish. It usually comes before their death. You could try an antibacterial remedy.

The easiest way to do it is to clean it as best as possible. Boil it. Clean it again. Then hang it somewhere outside for a long time. O.k. maybe it is not the easiest but it works. If you live in a condo or apartment this will be frowned upon

I clean mine with laundry detergent and a brush using the garden hose. After calling a game, spray it with Fabreeze, but let it dry out before you put it in yor bag.

This is the major topic of research for many commercial companies which prepare Oven and Grill cleaning products.\n\nThe carbon itself is bound to the metal with denatured (carbonized) fat or oil molecules.  These are generally effected only by very strong bases such as Sodium hydroxide (lye) which will react with aluminum and cause discoloration and chemical pitting.\n\nMechanical removal using sharp blades or soft metal bristle brushes will work, but requires much labor.  Steel wool is also used, but removes some of the metal from the surface of the pans.  Special electrical devices have been used with success, but tend to slowly wear away the top layer of aluminum.\n\nProfessional cooks ignore the problem by replacing aluminum with stainless steel pans.  Home and do-it your-selfers tend to allow the buildup until everything sticks and then replace the pans.\n\nThere has been a few who have "seasoned" their aluminum pans in a fashion similar to cast iron with mixed results.\n\nIf this is for pizza pans for your restaurant, I suggest soaking the pans overnight in a strong solution of Dawn Dish-washing Liquid and then taking the pans to a "steam" car wash to remove the detergent.

First go to your local sporting goods store, and get yourself some 4 inch and some 6 inch YUM dinger "worms".  And some YUM 7 inch ribbontail worms.  Also get a pack or 2 of Gamakatsu #2 worm hooks.  Rig both of these worms Texas style with out any wieght.  Cast near the edge of grass beds, where bass like to ambush thier prey from.  Also try flipping the worms near the shady side of underwater trees and rocks.  Keep your line taut by casting, and then raising your rod tip to get rid of the slack.  Do not reel in the line to pick up slack, because most hits will happen moments after the worm splashes into the water.  If it doesn't get an immediate strike, let the bait sink to the bottom, and then give the worm a few little tugs, as to jump the worm up about a foot off the bottom, then let it sink back to the bottom, then as it sinks again, keep your line taut, and do 1 or 2 cranks om the reel to pick up a little slack.  99% of hits will happen as the worms are falling down/ or sinking, so keeping the line taut will help you feel the hits. Bass usually don't eat worms off of the bottom.  You must also keep an eye on your line, because sometimes you won't feell the hit and your line may go to one side or the other and you'll know a bass has your bait.  When you hook a bass, be sure to reel him away from the cover, because that is right where the bass will go, and you have to be quick, or you will lose him.  After you get the bass away from the cover, let the fish wear itself out.  Then reel him in and carefully lip the bass.  DO NOT touch any part of the bass except the lip, unless you plan to eat them.  Fish have a protective enzyme that protects them from bacteria.  The slime is eaten away and removed, when you touch the bass, because of the amino acids on your skin.  Touching the bass removes this protective layer and opens the bass to bacterial and fungal infections which will kill the fish. Last night, I fished a heavily pressured lake and caught 9 bass in 3 hours. 8 largemouth and 1 smallmouth all with the YUM dinger.  On memorial day I fished a small farm pond and using the YUM ribbontail, I caught 16 largemouth in 4 hours.  It is all about presentation, so go to the site that the others have listed, the best is bass resource, which I put a link up for, and research how to best fish these worms.  I gave you my favorite and most productive methods.  Have fun and remember, tight lines.

An acid dip will do it. The problem being that the acid will eat the zinc too.  SO, use a dilute acid, such as muriatic. Which is dilute hydrochloric acid.  Nitric, and phosphoric acid would also work. Make sure you don't use a concentrated acid, as it is not needed, and can be quite dangerous.  There is a good chance that a commercial AC coil cleaning solution (inhibited dilute phosphoric I believe) would do the job.  Once the copper is removed, make sure to use tongs to remove the penny, and then rinse it well to stop the action of the acid.

Dissolve salt in vinegar.  To clean copper wipe on with a cloth.  To clean brass, submerge the brass piece in a bath of salt and vinegar.  There is an electric reaction where the ions of sodium from the salt displaces the copper/ brass.  Do not allow to dry on. \n...or to clean copper pans, use ketchup and let set for awhile then rinse off.\n...or soak in Worcestershire sauce.\n...or dip half a lemon in kosher salt and rub well. Then polish with a soft cloth and beeswax for a deep, lasting copper shine.

Calcium/ rust buildup. First, you can try ordinary vinegar. Take off the head and soak the piece in vinegar overnight. That may dissolve the calcium. If not, try CLR or similar product, they work wonders!

see what you can do with canned air. \nIf you can't get everything off with air, rinsing with alcohol will be much better than rinsing with water as it will not cause rust and evaporate very quickly, leaving no moisture behind. Soap and water isn't good for any electronics.

wash it with fresh water

a salt water mix. mix it in a spray bottle. should turn it pretty quick depending on how much salt you use.

Buy a metal polish, and use it to remove the rust.

What is your cleaning regiment? I would suggest that you clean it twice a day with Dye-free, fragrence-free anti-bacterial handsoap and then also do a sea salt soak. Its best to do both, soak with the salt solution and then cleanse with the soap solution. \n1. In a glass of warm water (to dissolve the salt) stir about a half a teaspoon of sea salt in. (At the grocery store they will carry grindable sea salt on the baking aisle. I find this easier to use and also you can measure it out easier). Get some cotton pads (Little squares of cotton sold near the cosmetics) and soak it in the salt solution. Then while you are laying down, lay the pad on top of the piercing. Let it rest there for about 8 - 10 minutes. \n2. After the salt soak, clean the piercing with warm water and the anti-bactieral soap. Using a Q-Tip will make it easier so that you can direct the water and soap into the crevases. Make sure to work the jewelry around so that the cleaner gets into the peircing. This step will take about 5 minutes.

What do you want to treat it for? Do you wnat to soften it? Remove salt? Sterilise it? Remove pesticides? Remove colloids?\n\nNothing short of an activated charcoal filter or distillation will do al those things
