BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted February 8, 2016 Author BassResource.com Advertiser Posted February 8, 2016 The Finesse plastics rod is done. It's sporting VT Hokies colors and headed to Virginia tomorrow. Quote
Super User MickD Posted February 9, 2016 Super User Posted February 9, 2016 I love the look without all those gaudy unnecessary winding checks that are so popular now. These are much cleaner looking. 1 Quote
S. Sass Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Nice looking rods. Those Hokies colors should be easy to see maybe prevent a accident. Just asking will those threads be exposed when the reels mounted? This is the first time I've been in this section of the forums I think, so if this is a stupid question just ignore me. Haha Quote

I run the hood down and tape it in place when it's on the power wrapper or dryer.

I prefer to build epoxy ramps most of the time. Occasionally I use the fuji rubber winding checks if I have a gap I'm trying to fill. Quote
