The first person to guess what caused this gets a free bag of worn out Penn parts and a broken rod butt.  The quiz ends tomorrow evening.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

That's a joke, unless the winner wants to help me clear out cluter.  So far we do not have a winner.

Cracked ceramic guide?
And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Doin' the old folks boogie and  boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought is as good as a thrill

Nice! I was too specific

I was always taught by old timers (now I are one!) —- to run a woman's nylon stocking through the guides at least once a year.  Any "catches" would be readily evident as the stocking would snag.

I run a q-tip around the guide. The cotton will snag up if cracked or damaged.
