I Really really Like Wally Mashall rads, BUT one thing i have Noticed about them that i DONT like , at least with the 1st , older models, seems the Clear Coat wants to "pop" off , but it never has , its almost like it has an air pocket under the whole lenth of the rod, this is on the 12& 10 foot rods, that are 4-5 years old now & this started when they were less than a year old, NONE of the clear coat has EVER poped off though , it just LOOKS BAD , I also bought some 9 footers since then because , well I LOVE the way they feel ! and they dont seem to have this Problem, SO "they " must have fixed this slight flaw since he 1st started putting his name on the Rods

I Used to use B&M all the time , Maybe it is just ME being to rough on them BUT i cant tell you how many B&M upper section i have broken over the years & have YET to berak the 1st Wally Marshall .
