I like to leave the factory shrink wrap plastic on the cork. It looks really shiny that way. LOL. By the way, did you happen to check out Larry Csonka on "North to Alaska" a couple of weeks ago? Fighting a salmon on a spinning rod, and holding the rod one handed down next to the butt. A real trick, considering the plastic hadn't been removed from the cork. I thought I had seen it all, but obviously was wrong.
