Hey guys on a bunch of my spey rods I have noticed that the cork has started to turn dark. I make sure after each use that they are dry ect. and I take very good care of them, yet they still are darkening. WHY!!!

If by "glasses" you mean "spectacles" then I agree wholeheartedly; if you mean whiskey tumblers then "clean" may mean that you are in dangerous risk of becoming dehydrated - something we all need to be aware of & take the necessary precautions against!sounds like you fish enough to not be mistaken for a poser. are your waders dirty too ? i only like clean on my glasses![]()
I like to iron my waders before each use, it is all about looking good not catching fish hahahsounds like you fish enough to not be mistaken for a poser. are your waders dirty too ? i only like clean on my glasses![]()
hahah it depends, I have made it look like I have no idea what I am doing to scare off low-holers :whoa: it works pretty well, especially if you fall in the river :chuckle::chuckle:Macleanhewitt,
Besides, clean waders and rod grip makes you look like a newb. Is that the image you wish to project?

That's not it at all. The truth is if you remove the patina you'll have to teach the rod to catch fish again. It's always easier with rods that know how to do it.hahah it depends, I have made it look like I have no idea what I am doing to scare off low-holers :whoa: it works pretty well, especially if you fall in the river :chuckle::chuckle:
Thank you everyone for the input, mojo has been lacking lately with the rod I tried cleaning. Yet another thing to be superstitious about now when fishing :Eyecrazy:
