Does anyone have any issues with the rod rusting after it has been used for a while?

NoWe've had this for about a year and no signs of rust. We love it and highly recommend it.

oh yes. like all guides regardless its best to rinse off with fresh water after each use. Have many surf rods ive used for 10 years or better, None show corrosion since I totally rinse each after using in salt water

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.

I have seen some small rust spots on mine after a couple months of use, but I was using the dishwasher. Since them I've switched to hand washing always.

I have not had any problems with rust and I own 2 sets purchased at separate times.

No, I didn't experience any rust and I bought about 1 and half years ago. It's one of the best glass electric kettles I have used. The best thing is I can put my hand inside to scrub and clean the residue built up on the bottom of the kettle. So the inside surface still looks pretty good and shiny. I wish the spout can be better designed to avoid spills when pouring the hot water. Now I make sure I lift the hot lid up till it's perpendicular and pour carefully to avoid spillage. Good luck.

I've had mine for nearly 2 years now and no rust. I didn't rustoleum it either.

Yes... the stainless steel product rusts but only at the welds (brazed points). The structural rod (which is stainless steel) remains uncorroded. I recommend painting the item with a de-rusto paint before use; even then mine showed signs of some rusting at the braze points after 16 months.

I've had mine for quite some time (in silver) and it hasn't rusted yet. It's still in pretty good condition too. Seems to hold up well against everyday wear and tear.

it becomes rusty after some time. to avoid it, wipe it dry every time you done using it.

The one I have has been in the hot tub all last summer and is in it now and there is to rust. It still seems to work quite well.

I have had mine for some time now, and I ride all year long in all kinds of weather. No indications of any rust showing up on it so far.

I have not had any rusting.You can extend the plastic black tubing out past the metal tip to prevent any rusting.Hope that helps, Ric

I have not seen any rust yet and I purchased it in December 2013. So far no issues, but the suction on the bottom is not working well, but it is not needed.

I have had no problems with rust at all. In fact the set has held up very well.

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give

I do and not have had a problem. It is all aluminum so it doesn't rust. I do dry it off though.
