    Default Roddy custom fiberglass rod

    Going through some of my Dads stuff I came across
    this flyrod, Good shape but the guide thread needs to be redressed.

    Two questions;

    What would be best to redress the guide wraps - Spar varnish?

    What to use to coat the entire fiberglass rod.


    Thanks

    You could use an epoxy finish (not glue) or permagloss on the wraps if you want, but the spar will probably match the original
    It's not necessary to finish the blank, unless you want to that is.
    Use the same spar varnish
