Hey All-
I'm following this thread with deep interest, I'm just
about to order the components for my first rod from
Greg's Custom Rods in Washington (no commercial
affiliation, just a shameless plug, they've been very
helpful to a newbie) and am kind of nervous about it.
This talk about what a hassle it is to coat the rod
leads me to a question, is it really necessary to coat
the whole rod? I'm hoping to get away with just
coating the thread wraps. Would that be wrong to do?
