I remember using plastic wrap on food since the late 1960's/early 70’s but does anyone remember when it was first used for protecting cork handles on new fishing rods?

Speaking personaly I hate the practice, nothing feels better on a rod than cork in the hand. Duplon, you can keep it
How long after its introduction did it take for the first numpty to decide that leaving the plastic was a really great idea?
Funny you should say that Sam, I have seen quite a few Matt Hayes programs where he is doing just that, fishing with the plastic intact.:wh:whHow long after its introduction did it take for the first numpty to decide that leaving the plastic was a really great idea?

Thanks folks, my guess was early 70's which seems to be popular, probably about the time when plastic bottles started to appear.

Why keep the pastic on, it's there to stop the cork from getting dirty in the shop that's all
