First, Howdy Boys! Ain't been here for a bit-things got REAL crazy around here.

OK, here is one for you:

I go out to thhe garage to look at a rod/reel setup I was thinking about. I use thoose black BPS rod socks to protect my gear. Anyway,I pick it up and notice something real strange: The clear coat from just above the handle to the 3rd guide from the tip was all bubbled up and peeling off. Brand new rod, too. Near as I can figure is it was leaning up against a shelf with some chemicals below it and fumes or something caused it to react and peel off. Rod is fine, just scraped/rubbed off all the peeling stuff off, cleaned it up and will clear coat it later. Still, strange thing to find.
