Last month I finished up an IGFA 80 Calstar used Gudebrod NCP, green, yellow and charcoal. Was a little dissapointed what the charcoal looked like after finishing but whatever.......however what I will tell you is I used a size A double underwrap with green. First time I ever saw this it was a bit fussy and hence the first coat of finish was like 60 grit. This being a HD tuna rod it needed 4 coats and by then you'd never know. After the job I tossed that spool of A green away figuring something was not right with that spool. This rod I ended up scuffing up the wrap finish with scotbrite before the next coat, i don't usually do that but am thinking about doing it more often.

Did a nice maze decorating wrap on the butt looks nice.

Don't use it much ( NCP) but I have had it happen as well. We don't need to worry about Guberod NCP anymore anyhow!!
