Default fly rods

Hi guys

I have a question for people on here, I have a Airflo blue tooth nano, the rod it's self seems nice good casting and great curve when you hook a fish, but something I have noticed is the stripper rings seem to rust very fast, has anyone else had this problem??? And what rods do people like using for under £200 and how do you rate these rods of choice?
Thanks for any replies given

I have two airflo bluetooth saltwater rods, both different line weights. Had them for about two years, use them in summer mainly, fishing from the rocks for pollack etc and sea bass in the estuary. No sign of rust on the rings, but saying that, I always dunk them in the freshwater loch with the reel, when I get back and dry them out before storing them. Worth a try washing them in freshwater at the end of the day.....
