Paracord on rod question

Post by goldrod » Mon Feb 05, 2024 6:40 pm

I have been learning how to parachord skeletonized blades. I just wanted to learn how to do that and as I was doing it, i wondered if anyone has ever done it to a rod? I can see me doing it on my HE rods , in the space between the cork.

Why would you want to do it , dont ask me. i just wondered about doing it.. maybe use different colors for rod recognition..

just a silly question.

Considering tuna cord wrapped handles have been a staple on socal deckhand jigsticks for decades I don’t see why paracord wouldn’t work just as fine
