Duckett Ghost rod turning yellow

[catmaster]

I got my Ghost last February and i have recently noticed it turning yellow. I know that eventually most white rods turn yellow. I am curious if anybody else who has this rod has experienced the the same thing. The rod is still an excellent rod. It's just disappointing that it is already turning yellow after 11 months. I also have an Abu Garcia Veritas. I have had it for over 3 years now and it is still as white as the day i got it. emoScratch

Yeah I have noticed other ghost rods doing the same thing.

mine is also yellowing. Must be the epoxy coating they use. My Micro Magic rods are still white as snow.

Most people will advise you to keep it out of the sun as that's what causes this. Which i dont understand how that works if you are one of the few that fish outdoors like I do?

I have heard of these turning yellow pretty quickly. Head scratcher for sure...

take it back and tell them you bought a white one.

Buy a black fishing rod, never worry about color turning.

I have never known of anybody owning a ghost and it not yellowing within the year. Im sure you can take some acetone to it and it will more than likely take it right off.

Mine did the same thing after about a year.
I thought it was from eating Cheeto's lol.
I kinda like the new color. Looks like ivory.

I've got one that yellowed within 6 months of purchase. Still in good shape other than looking horrible.

One of the reasons I discontinued carrying the Duckett brand

Most epoxies yellow in the sun, doesn't affect strength or anything.

Mine is about completely yellow lol it will still catch fish though thats all that matters!
