Michael,
I've tried a few products over the years, and about 4 years ago I started using ThreadMaster epoxy. Mix it up, put in on, put the rod in a turner, and forget it for about two hours, fairly hassle free, but there are many others out there that also do a good job. Maybe start by doing a search in the internet.
Beautiful Craftsmanship Larry...Congrats!
Jerry,
Check out this comment to another article, which has links to a couple of sites with a lot of rod building products.

Where can I purchase the cork slicing and decorative pins jigs for doing cork handles
I have been using Flex-Coat high build to coat my rods and not pleased with the finish I am getting. Some times it is uneven like it is not flowing out like it should. What brand of finish do you use to get the thin coats?
Also thanks to Kelly L, Gary, and Armando.
Thanks for the compliment. Sorry no vedeo yet. Larry
0:41 instant bite! That was nice. Always wanted to try catching barbel on flies, but in the area I live, there's hardly a spot similar to this one. Nice spot by the way.
A fly rod is a lever designed to accelerate a load. The load (effective resistance) and degree of acceleration are determined by the fly caster. It's a poor workman who blames his tools.
I don't mind the ads the way they are now, they don't detract from the information. I hope it works out for you and you can recover some of your costs.
Hello Martin,
No problem at all with the ads, it is good for the site.
It already has cost you and the other owners a lot of money the last 20 years.
Best regards,
Tom Biesot

Good GFF people,
As you can see I have taken the consequence of the positive feedback on ads and started rolling out Google ads on our pages. It will slowly go though to all pages as the pretty hefty caching system gets emptied and refreshed.
Thanks for your support!

Some years ago on a Sunday morning I was flyfishing in the Main river in Frankfurt. Two boys where rowing on the river. When they had passed me one said to the other:"Did you see his rod? He is fishing with a damaged rod"!
I imagine that they didn't see any fly rod before......
I really don t care about ads,
I just love the GFF site and it's contents, And i have absolutly NP with ads.
Mabey you should make order some caps and sell them with GFF on the cap (i would love it :P)
If you make only 1 of 2 bucks on a cap I think your bills for the site are payed for a year to come?
Martin,
it is completely up to you, but the donate button idea sounds good for me too.

I would prefer a subscription say $2.00 dollars a month drawn out of my debit account like I do with Netflix. I never miss it. If 200 site fans would do this that 400 per month or 4800 per year to help with expenses. Love the site have no problem helping.
Martin, ideology is a wonderful concept, but the real world doesn't work that way. You can't walk into a restaurant and eat for free. I understand your dalema and I will still be a supporter of you and your site no matter what your decision is. When I post my videos to You Tube, I chose to allow them to include their advertising for the same reason even though I hate ads. A few dollars helps out each month. Unfortunately You Tube doesn't start paying until you hit 1,000 subscribers, which I don't have and may not have. My feeling is, if the ads will help you support GFF, then I will bite the bullet and put up with them. I do understand business and I applaud your efforts to keep ads off your site all these years. Best regards. Richard
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
