I wouldn't sand it unless you intend to epoxy it. Stock, there's some room as the joint wears a bit as time goes by.

Devcon 2 ton epoxy is about as durable a coat you'll find. Clear, waterproof, hard.

Okuma makes a nice casting reel cover that is less that $4 and it protects the drag star. Goes on and off nice and easy too. TW had them but I don't see them now. Its model ARS-BC http://www.fishusa.com/product/Okuma-Reel-Shield-Neoprene-Reel-Covers Shimano and Daiwa Japan have better covers that pr...
