Full up Greenspot

Hello couta-koppie,

Not a bad fish, well done.
Couta, please take the plastic cellophane off your rod grips before they rot.

This is something that is done to keep your grips looking new, but in the long run makes the cork rot and go brittle, causing damage to your rod.

Please take the stuff off before your rod rots!
 
Hi Igi,

Ja, he might just, but I wouldn't buy it.
I have also seen many other anglers do the same thing and they all seem to think, that keeping it on will keep the grips nice and fresh.

In all reality, when the water creeps in, it starts to rot underneath. I would also like to know how he held that king without the rod slipping out of his hands, He must be a champion angler.

Or did he use TNT?

:fishn

Maybe I am......... Nahhh, the king wasn't that big hey. You are on the ball with the plastic. I should take it off and now I will. Thanks Van. Will let you know if the taste of cork is better than plastic next time I get another bigish King::S
 
Hi CK,

I'm sure it might taste like blue cheese by now.

Otherwise take the plastic off, let it dry a bit and use some fine sandpaper to get the stains out.

Thanks Van. I'm gonna take it off. Luck has it that there is no stains on the blue cheese cork, except for some K9 teeth marks. The only stains are the ones I left in my boxers when I hooked into that Igie that stripped me. :?
