Question rod rings freezing over

hi, a quick qestion, as im fishing early tomorrow.
will rubbing the rod rings with a small dab of vasaline stop rod rings freezing over.?

try glycerine, available from any chemist, remember to keep applying throughout the day as it will dissolve with water, failing that keep dipping the rod under the water........
