Re: Cleaning cork handles
Use Soft-Scrub cleaner on a piece of fine scotch-brite pad. It will take the dirt and grim right off. After cleaning you can seal it with a cork sealer or leave it raw and clean again next year.

Re: Cleaning cork handles
Tooth brush, or other similarly bristled brush, and Simple Green cleaner. Have also heard 409 works well too.

Re: Cleaning cork handles
Monty pythons flying circus.
I don't know if it is just me, but when I buy a new pole, I am thinking to myself, "how long is it going to take this thing to wear in". To me, it is like a leather jacket, looking new is just not cool.
I'm not so sure that sealing the cork would be a good idea. I think that its grip qualities might be impaired, but I will cower to more informed opinions.

Re: Cleaning cork handles
The best way to clean the handles and not remove any cork is to use a large eraser. It takes a little time to do but it works great.

Re: Cleaning cork handles
lol this is funny. I totally agree with Vodkaman on this. Looking worn is a much better look in my opinion. "Hey check this guy out, just bought a whole new set of rods!"
But then again I'm anal on not letting my reels get any boat rash so to each his own. I have Curado's that are 5 seasons old that look like they just came out of the box.

Re: Cleaning cork handles
I don't know if it's the "right" thing to use, but I've used the "Magic Eraser" that you can use to clean your walls and it worked well...
