I'm still sticking with the water. Water can easily get under the grip if it's cork or hypalon. I have a rod that only has color preserver on it and it clouds when used and then drys clear, it's never had epoxy on it.

I agree with Jeff. It's moisture. Most rods start exhibiting this cloudiness when you leave them outside in humidity, fog, dew, rain and so on.

It's water that gets in and clouds the finish. Just have a rod builder refinish the wraps. FishHawk

Remove and re-do, if it matters to you.
All wraps do this over time--even those done by the best builders.
