I see what you mean Wal, nothing like rusty bits on your new saltwater reel to get the blood boiling, it's no place for any steel grade less than 316 (Why did they even invent 304?), by the look of those they're probably mild, not necessary take 'em off and throw 'em away.

Cheers and Empathies, Daisy

Wallace:  Now that the photos are posted, I can see why you were as cross as a frog in a sock.  Taking a close look at the photos, I'm as mad as a cut snake . Dominick
