Location: BLOOMINGTON,IL | Has anyone every had issues with leaving their rods in a unheated cabin all winter long? I know this is a silly question but is there any damage I can be doing to the rod by exposing it to such hard conditions?
Thanks! |

Location: Not Where I Want To Be | Half of Mine go in the Basement at Home and the other half are in my unheated Cabin during the winter.
I have never had a problem with the Rods that stay in the Unheated Cabin.
Just my 2 cents |

| Personally i would take them out of the unheated cabin. Not sure why i think that thou but i do recall not wanting to use graphite rods when fishing very cold weather. I keep mine in my cabin, but its never below 50 degrees as i keep the heat at 50 when i am not there. |

Location: Smith Creek | There's no way to damage a rod in cold storage unless the rod is not completely dry when put away.
BTW, cold temps do not affect carbon/graphite, but prolonged exposure to moist/damp conditions can cause corrosion on guide feet and pitted cork. |

Location: Iowa Great Lakes | I store mine out on the front porch, stays about the same temp as outside and never had an issue. I also use them when it below 32 without a problem. |
