Far be it from me to start telling SAGE how to build rods and they do have a life time warranty soooooooooooo!!!-------------I spine everything from ultra lites to 130*s it wasnt me that said I didnt think it was important----I agree and do use 2 or 3 overwraps its just I use the larger thread as the very top wrap. Yes goose one now see a lot less twisting of the whole guide because the Epoxy coatings help keep everything in place.You used to see a lot more of it when just thread and thin coating was used because thread does strech and loosen up and the Epoxy helps controll this.---A thread looks a lot nicer when used for buttwraps and I use this for doing all my pattern work.It just takes longer to do when doing closed wrap patterns and is more for the eye of the fisherman then the fish.I just did a blank with a split color 2 axis ST Johns cross closed wrap on the fore grip and 4 axis closed wrap diamond pattern between the 2 rear grips on the butt section of a surf rod.Thats gotta be a couple hundred thread wraps( it seemed like thousands at the time) and one of the reasons that I said laziness wasnt a reason for my doing the very top wrap on Guide feet with e sized threads when doing Tuna rods..how did mr L*ski make out with his rods transition set up???
