Clean handles?

Paul and I GRIND them on the floor of the boat when we are stepping on them. The mud, leaves, branches and beaver diarrhea that we track and slop into the boat from dragging it across beaver dams and lodges to get to untouched and untapped honey holes leave a nice patina.

Proud of our dirty rods.

The broken tips and missing eyes however... somewhat less.

Prevention is key here Craig, you should always protect your rod by using a rod sock, especially if you’re going to drag your rod tip on ones dirty beaver, damn! :o ;)
