I have seeker 748 in 7 ft which I think is now the inshore light. at least that's what ive been told. I use this for striper and blackfish. I wrapped it a long time ago and decided to do something different. when I took off the under wrap u see where the old epoxy was. I don't want to use such a long underwrap and gonna turn it into a spiral wrap. should I paint the blank? I don't want to. what paint? does it hold up with rod bend? I catch REAL big stripers. well, not really. lol. any suggestions would be great. thanks, Merry Christmas.

Strip the guides off
Thenstrip all the finish
Either leave it or just a coat of clear Permigloss or Lumi Seal
Let dry Rewrap It will be lighter and perform better

I believe that painting - in this sense - is an verb, not an adjective.
