I have a custom rod that was built for me many years ago.
Its still a work horse, but the other day while fishing in the rain/mist the coating on the wrapping was getting whitish and was not clear anymore (is that described enough?). Once the weather dried out, the coating went back to clear.
Is it junk? Does it need re-coating? I don't want to have an issue later so maybe there is a fix now.

Any help is appreciated.
