Hey Grant, Thanks for the insight. It seems like I'm going to just have to apply a light initial coat of finish because I am doing some decorative inlays on the tie offs in A size thread. I will do some experimenting on scrap blanks I have laying around. Happy holidays and tight lines. -Nikola

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying the holiday season! I seem to be having trouble finishing the tie off on my dragon scales… how does everyone here do it? Do you apply a thin coat and then apply the trim bands at the end? I always have the threads cutting between my dragon scale Metallic threads. Any insight is very appreciated!

Hey Peter, I recently built a 6’9” medium fast pacbay arctos and it’s a great all around spinning rod for your purposes. The build ended up weighing in at just 4 oz. Though I used some cheaper SS guides I’m sure you could get that weight down if you choose your components carefully. Sensitivity is pretty decent for the price I have to say as well.
