Cork is too clean!
Guilty of neglecting it too much. Cork of my TFO 1 is a little dirtier . . .Cork is too clean!
Feel free to keep it nice and clean, Jim - as long as you leave it in the closet of my (future) house!Guilty of neglecting it too much. Cork of my TFO 1 is a little dirtier . . .
It will be in the vault of the fishing room, Sue. And ALL of my toys are clean, even the hard-used ones - although the Superfine does need some seasoning, lol. I'll quit wearing white gloves when I use itFeel free to keep it nice and clean, Jim - as long as you leave it in the closet of my (future) house!
That's what I though, Gene . . . until I picked-up that full-flex Superfine. My TFO 1 is a little faster rod (I bought that first & used it on a Montana high creek Brookie trip with a couple of Nephews for 2 weeks.). Between the 2, I prefer the Orvis if I'm not in a lot of brush but both are fun.a 1 weight is one toke under the line
I use money from cartoon sales to buy flyfishing paraphernalia but that isn't very much!My apology in advance to your Bride
Hey, my favorite 7' 6" still has the shrink wrap on it after 7 years.Yep, need a little fish slime on that cork. It's kind of embarrassing to have one that clean![]()
Why?!?Hey, my favorite 7' 6" still has the shrink wrap on it after 7 years.
Well honestly, I kept forgetting to take it off the first few times. Now I its just an ongoing "conversation piece".Why?!?
I saw a newb doing it once because he liked how it kept the cork bright. I'd rather hold cork than plastic personally but that's just me. Takes all kindsa people to make up a world.Well honestly, I kept forgetting to take it off the first few times. Now I its just an ongoing "conversation piece".
It doest affect my grip at all. It's not like I'm fighting 6 lb fish on a regular basis with that 7'er.![]()
Some people put clear plastic covers on their furniture to keep the furniture clean... must be similar....Hey, my favorite 7' 6" still has the shrink wrap on it after 7 years.
Matt, I have 11 rods, only one with the plastic on the cork still.I saw a newb doing it once because he liked how it kept the cork bright. I'd rather hold cork than plastic personally but that's just me. Takes all kindsa people to make up a world.
