    Default Curious about something....

    Do you epoxy the whole blank, or just the wraps? The reason I ask is because a man today argued with me a tad about this. An older man. He was asking me "Why do you fish with a childs fly rod". I replied with "It's not a childs fly rod, it's a 2wt". So the man said "Ok, it's not a childs, it's a beginners fly rod". So he was rubbing me the wrong way from the get go.

    So then he asked why it was so ugly. I then told him "It's ugly because I built it". So he said "That explains why there's no shine to the rod.

    So save the rest of the argument And get to the question. Was I supposed to epoxy the whole thing? I thought I did it right.....Hell, it catches fish, and handles good sized fish.

    So, was I wrong, or was this guy losing his mind?

    Thanks!

    P.S. He wasn't wrong about one thing, the rod is ugly That's why I've never posted photos hahaha.
