I remember when FlexCoat first came out...it was totally a game changer for me.

At that time I was useing Gudebrod #111 Color Preserver and #222 Rod Finish...and it took 5 or 6 coats.
I miss that old color preserver...but not the varnish.

John,
Thanks for the video. It comes as no surprise to me that the roots of such a great company as Flex Coat started from such humble beginnings. You and Roger provide outstanding products and service to the rod building community. “That’s how we do it” = that’s how all should do it!!!

FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!! BUILDING YOUR OWN SIMPLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE.

Roger sat for an interview which was published in an early issue of RodMaker back around 2000 or so. Interesting stuff.
