Handle needs attention
« on: 20/02/2012 at 22:33 »
The weekend weather gave me an opportunity to attend to that annoying crater which had unmasked itself on my 13' LPXe handle. It has been annoying me for ages due to being situated right on or very near the busy spot on the upper 'grip'.  Don't know why this rod has decided to exfoliate filler but it was left looking quite gastly.  :shock

   

Just needed a little attention and is back to it's old self.   :X4 Cue all Guideline slander but it's still an ace rod  :z16

Did Noel take the pics mate?  The second pic is of a different part of the handle!

You don't happen to wear a ring on your upper hand when casting? That will screw a handle up pretty quickly. I have to remove my ring on my right hand as its cratered a couple of handles now.

yer, I know (to be said in a scouse accent) whole sections of handle were fillerless.
