I have blanks that come matte black and the fiberglass white and ive tried painting them and doing coats of clear but they always seem to chip. How do guys get those multi colored rods and gloss finishes over the entire rod? I have been using Krylon Fusion paints and clear coat.

Hey thanks guy I appreciate the feedback. I will have to just set one up and see how it does I feel a little more confident about them now at least and it's worth a shot I already bought them might as well use them.

What do you do with a fiberglass rod that has no backbone or very slow action? It is for ice fishing and 36 inches long. I guess I just don't know if sanding down the tip would lighten it up a little and maybe add some backbone or cutting off a couple inches from the tip would do anything. I wanted to use them for walleye and perch dead sticks ice fishing but there just doesn't seem to be enough
