I might be going a little to far here but. I recently scraped my favourite rod (AA Surf) :evil: It has really annoyed me and find myself taking the rod out of the rodbag and looking for the scrape. :cry: :cry:

A scratch :shock: Get back to me when you break all the rings on your rod or get the tip taken off by the car door :lol:

Ask Mr Green about scratches on a rod......he will tell you what scratches really are :lol: :lol: :lol:

I little dab of rod varnish and a gentle wipe should fill the sratch....its no big deal, seriously.

Small bottle of rod varnish will cost about £4.00 sterling from Hopkins & Holloway......PM me if you need more advice on how to apply it.

a wee scratch on a rod i can live with, but when someone hits your car with their door and leaves a dent, then drives off :evil: any way, i have damaged rods in the pass, and a dab of varnish usually does the trick, except when you close the door or boot on them :oops:

Being emotionally attached to anything is not a good idea 8)
