I am fairly new to building rods. I have read several articles on rod building and question the need for the under wrap. The rod is a SC2 7' 2 piece 10-20lb 1/2 - 1 1/2.

What would be a good fly rod for use in both fresh and saltwater. The rod would be used mainly for saltwater. Someone had mentioned a 8wt rod would work probably the best for both applications.

When static testing a casting rod would have the blank oriented for the eyes on top or on the bottom. It seems that it is easier for the eyes to follow the arc on the bottom than the top.
