You ever build a rod for a buddy have it fall out of the drying rack and in trying to save the finish you burn the chit out of the finish on a couple guides trying to get it to flow back out. Then realize its beyond repair for aesthetics unless you strip it. Well it still is 100% functional but ugly as Rosie O'Donnell so I decided to just keep it and build a new one for the cousin. Just another reason to buy another reel.
