Haha Paul. I like that. Well, we had words, I had mine. But I still left feeling like I had done something wrong when building my rod. So I figured I'd ask you guys.
Thanks for the all the info. Yes, I meant rod finish:)
I only coated the wraps, of course. However, I wasn't aware that one could coat the whole blank. Good thing I don't want to:)
I love my 2wt:)

You built it right. I've never built a rod that had more than the thread and inscription covered with finish.
Those jerks who think they know it all seem to show up everywhere. This one always comes to mind when I run into them: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." -Abe Lincoln
I probably wouldn't have been that polite though.

Hey Shane,
I have never coated any of my rods totally, only the wraps. The guy obviously knows nothing about rods or rod building. Enjoy your rod and don't worry about anyone else's opinion. You built your rod correctly.

Epoxing an entire blank would be a big mistake, huge amount of weight added and especially on a 2 weight it would turn into a slug. One thing about your "ugly" rod, it's fixable at anytime, unlike the gentleman's opinions.

I'm impressed with all you guys who have the desire and drive to actually build your own rods! Maybe someday I'll give it a shot.
Anyway...I thought "Beauty is in the eye of the Beerholder"? :lol:
