Almost all the fuji style butt caps will do this if left in the sun for a long period of time. The ones that don't are the ones you will find in the hardware store as crutch tips or a marine store that go on the deck chairs. Years back when i ist started building rods we used the Daisy crutch caps. they came in a bunch of sizes an didn't degrade like the newer ones do from the sun an such.Some of my rods I change them twice a year. You keep your rods outside or in your rod racks a lot an you will see this.LOL I just put new ones on the 2 centurys I've been usin a load this season. they about live on my truck.Ron
