Rightfully? Huh? The warranty is spelled out in the documentation. Does
it say somewhere in there that it lasts a different length of time
depending on whether the handle remains wrapped in plastic film?


Lastly if you happen to catch (ot) salmon or
pike there is a problem with slime smell and you don't want the fluids of this
sort on the cork handle for obvious reasons.

Let me guess, you have plastic slip covers on your living room
furniture, don't you? To keep the 'fluids' off in case you have some
kind of OT activity going on there, eh?

Hope this further helps

further? where's the prior?
