If your father in-law saw wht I had planned he'd laugh his @$$ off. It is defintely going to be a basic ghetto rod. Blank, cork tape. no real seat. Single layer Black wraps, no underwrap. I am probably going to skip the epoxy on the wraps also, just protect them w/some tape, perhaps Tommy tape. one layer. I don't want to have to f'around in season when I have to replace guides which I always do, replaced 4-5 last year.
