Rust on inside my guides

Recommended Posts

Hey guys so recently I lent a rod to a friend and he didn't wash it down as well as I thought he would have so now I'm stuck with rust behind the clear coat where the guides meet the rod it's self, I've been trying to my research but I can't find anything specifically for this situation, I would like to clean it myself some how but I don't know how to penetrate underneath the clear coat, I'm trying to avoid paying to get them stripped back and cleaned and put back together, has anyone else had this problem? I'm not happy about it at all! I'll post a couple of pics! Any help would be appreciated very much!

Don’t get salt water on it. Rinse rods after use. 

The pictured rust isn’t that bad. I’ve used rods that look like that for years. I say just use it and enjoy it for however long it lasts. Nothing last forever.
