I will try and get some pics tomorrow, I have no idea what goes into building a rod, so I don't know the correct terms
it is a well built rod, I was basically wondering if the rod needed a clear coat on the blank
the blank is an Batson rainshadow SW-1209

Yeah, keep the matte finish, Bob. After all, you're not exactly the type who wears shiny bling to attract attention at night on the beach!  |
