Keep it off the ferrule or the rod pieces may come unstuck while fishing.

Now even more are saying they got a GOODY PACK? Are these not samples or give aways? If you are a newbie I would at least write to Diamond II and ask for the goody pack and see what you get. If you like it stick with it if not you can try another.

It was not in an E-mail it was on a west coast rod message board. But in answer to Mike I think both finishes are good if you follow the directions and use them with common sense.I do not see that much difference in them.

I have talked to Ralph and known Roger so I know these are good people who want to help all the rod builders. They are not trying to just sell more finish by saying to mix more finish.

Anybody that is not going to buy Northfork blanks really has no beef to start with.. If you do not like the prices there are other companies making blanks you can buy. Sometimes the people who bark the loudest are ones that were not going to be customers anyway.

The first two numbers are for length mostly. Then power and then number of pieces. But you would have to have the mfg. catalog for the specs on power and casting weights.

Everybody and their brother has become a blank designer. If you say that you want more power or a softer tip that is enough to make you a blank designer. I wonder what people like Gary Loomis or Jason Bruner at Croix are? They must be at another level of designer?
