My Ng su went like it .a lot of there rods aren't lacquered any more so can't happen.

My Tricast Legends and North Western Carbons have never done it, but they were built in the 80's/90's when spirit-based resins were used on the whippings, unlike the Water based they use these days.

I presume with Chinese made Rods (Which never seem to do it) must still use Spirit based resins. But Health & Safety is not a high priority over there – just mass production as fast as possible, Spirit does dry dramatically faster.

My stealth graphenes never done it but only used them twice. Just bought a set of 3lb mk2 c2's so hopefully they will be fine. I would like to hope the issue was sorted now. My mates cq's have never went milky and he has had them a year and been out in all weathers.

Just spent a couple of days on the bank. The blanks did not go white.

What lovely rods. I'd forgotten how nice they were.

If there Autoclaves they will have a stainless coller just above the butt grip saying Century on (not a end cap)

But what if they are custom builds ?

Mine are autoclave but have no identifiable marks, I know they are as mine were built by Mark Tunley.

Cheers mine were built in 2006 so assuming the blanks were of that year also 😀.

I used to have a set of the newer NGs in 12ft 3.5lb, they were amazing rods, very light and great for playing fish, but a bit soft for what I was using at the time, (solid bagging).

I'd defintley recommend them for fishing shorter ranges, really nice action,
