Eric, I spiral wrap most of my heavier fly rods, 7 wt and up. The first guide is placed 90 degrees to the left for the right handed caster. Then 1/2 way between it and the next standard guide is one placed at a 45 degree angle.

Hi Bruce, All my rods get trim wraps on all of the guides. The purpose here is to set myself and craft apart from the "factory" look. To me doing trim wraps all the way up the rods is one more way to conote that I've taken my time and care for my work and the product is hence, worth more the money paid. good wrapping, David A.

Can't go wraong with all those previously suggested. But don't forget to look at the rod blanks in the American Tackle line-up. There are several 1 piece and 2 piece rods to choose from. The full line is handled by a number of fine ATC dealers, such as Mud Hole, Bingham, Richard's, and others. good wrappin, David A. Fuller Great Basin Fishing Rods

Bill, Sorry to hear of the inscription problems. Make sure the ink/paint you use is water resistant. Most will infact say so on the package. Doing this alone will prevent any second or third steps to seal, preserve or set the inscription. If the package doesn't say anything about water resistance then assume it isn't.
