Just finished an inshore rod. Northfork composites SW 703. Would appreciate suggestions regarding what to use to coat my signature. Tried epoxy and flex coat in the past and didn’t like the results. What are you using? Appreciate suggestions. Al D’Addario

Thank you. Spinning rod 8’ 12-14# mono 1- 2 oz lure/bait will be used Reel is Daiwa SS2600. Thanks for helping. Edit: This is the only fiberglass rod I have built. I’m hoping someone with expertise using fiberglass blanks can help. I like the soft action of this blank. I just don’t like the clunky old Fuji guides.

I need new guides for this rod. I built it about 30 years ago using Fuji BSHG guides. Any suggestions for what guides to use? I still use it for tossing eels from shore. Thanks for any suggestions. Al

Thanks so much Joe and Mark! GPS says 20H - 10H - 6L 5 running guides, Think I’ll go 6mm for the running guides. Fuji says 6mm and up KT runners don’t need a belly guide. I’ll finish with a size 6 tip. All sound good? Thanks again. Albert

Thanks Joe Yes, spinning rod using my Penn 4400SS. Blank is rated 3/4 to 3 oz. Very calm surf. I catch stripers 20-30 lbs. Should I check into single foot? I don’t want to do the micro guide thing. Just a simple set up using good guides. Thanks!
