Thanks Paul, I may just go the epoxy route. I stripped 6 and epoxy sealed them this weekend. But the one thing I do like about the spar varnish is if you want to, you can leave them soaking for longer and plugs pickup weight which is something I was messing with this winter... I ruined some darters one year soaking too long but for needles sometimes the extra weight is nice and doing it that way distributes it more evenly than if i just added more lead.
