This is my first build up from a blank. Finished the wraps, as in put a finish on the wraps? No , not yet, the tit guides are on but only one mid guide , I want to go light on the wrap coating, color sealer and I don't know what on top. The most I ever paid for a rod was $200 and that hurt, $400 for a blank set just isn't gonna happen. The $200 rod was a used Sage, I like my rods like my cars and guitars, slightly used but not abused. I also want them unadorned, like me. Eunan, you could wrap a rod in hand when you're comfortable with doing those flies, really, I find I pick it up often to complete various steps then just set it in the wrapping stand. I use an old herters vise.
