Are the scratches in the finish over the windings or on the blank itself? If they're on the windings you can throw a skim coat of finish over them and it will look brand new. However if they're on the blank, you can do the same thing but it will look like chit w/in a year! Putting a skim coat over ther entire rod is better left to professionals. The reason it'll look like chit in a year, is the next time you fall you'll crack the skim coat and it will start to peal off when the moisture gets under the finish. Scratches build character as long as they're not to deep in the blank. I'd recommend skimming the windings and leaving the rest alone. Make sure you wipe the windings down with acetone or lacquer thinner to remove all oils before you start.
