Under magnification it is determined it was white paint that can be rubbed or scratch off. The location to the rod is the perfect area for the rod to have either rested or rubbed against the boat gunwale and the boat paint was transferred.On Jul-12-20 at 08:05:23 PDT, seller added the following information:UPDATE: 7/12/2020..The male ferrule ends were checked and are found to be good and clean when connected and disconnected from the female ferrule ends. They make a nice "pop" sound when pulled apart.
