Rod Building Blank
¿I can paint a fishing rod?
I have taught the art of building the bar of a true master. I however, leads to a new audience. I airbrush in the blanks to make them look impressive. For suggestions, paint varnish versus color. Will they still be flexible and responsive?
In my humble opinion, the paint tends to hide any cracks in the blank space that can devolop of use. There's a guy I know who makes custom rods and uses a unique painting in their pens.
