I like cork and when they get dirty and slick I run warm soapy water over them and brush them out. Back like new.

Itโs a fishing pole. No need to do anything but use it.

What's the trend in rods? Are they still using a lot of cork or is the foam and winn grips gaining ground? Seems to depend on the brand. For example Lew's uses mainly winn grips/foam but other brands such as Dobyns use cork on most of their rods.

I have never sealed any of mine. I have bought some U40 and started to do it but still have not done it.

experience with the Winn grips (Castaway rods) is that it sucks. wears out/off too quick for me. maybe i just use my stuff too much!! have already wrapped most with the wrap tape from Bass Pro. have some older rods with cork that i much prefer, just keep them clean!! wiping down with denatured alcohol will clean even sunscreen and sweat etc from them and leave them dried out !!
I love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning !!!

What's the trend in rods? Are they still using a lot of cork or is the foam and winn grips gaining ground? I have several rods with the winn grips and I really like them. They do not get slick when wet. Some of the foam ones do and some don't depending on what brand of rod it is.
