What works best for marking graphite rods when measuring for guides etc.? I have used China markers in the past but was wondering if there is something that works better?

Thanks for all the input. I went with the Rainshadow since I have never built one before.

I was hoping to get some opinions on these two blanks. I am trying to decide between a Batson revelation and an MHX both in a 9’ 4wt. I have never built a Batson Rod so I wasn’t sure about quality. Thanks.

Don and Spencer thank you both for the insight, very helpful... my concern is whether or not I would be getting in trouble by putting my label on someone else’s blank. I suppose I would be fine as long as I’m not advertising the blank as my own. I’m putting the cart before the horse as i haven’t even started building these yet but just trying to get my ducks in a row. Thanks again.

Hello I am new to the forum and I have a question regarding OAEM Factory blanks...do the majority of the companies that sell rods simply use factory blanks ? Or do they manufactur their own graphite blanks? I have been building rods for few ew years now and would like to start selling some if possible but I want to have my mind wrapped around the market before I start buying blanks. Thanks
