I received a Phillipson Johnson Profile in the mail a couple of days ago. To mail the rod all the seller did was tape the top and slap a mailing label on the rod tube and take it to the post office. To make matters worse the seller put the wrong zip code on the address label. So when I received the rod there were about five address and postal labels on the rod tube as well as some tape that was very difficult to remove.

After seeing the rod tube I expected the rod to be damaged and was planning on returning the rod. When I finally got the tape removed enough to open the tube top the rod was pretty dirty and the ferrules were too tight, but not damaged. I cleaned it up and it looks sharp now and the ferrules are perfect, so I'm going to keep it. I was even able to get the rod tube cleaned up pretty well too.

Those bright colored micro-towels that you can get pretty cheap at Wally-World and other places are just amazing for cleaning rods. All I do is get them wet and they do of good job of cleaning cork handles and in this case mailing labels from rod tubes.
