I think the grooves would fill with epoxy and help stop it twisting also...

@karlknight948 - I agree Karl, and thank you for watching and commenting. 🙏

Do you know if it’s ok to run finishing thread epoxy up to the tip of the pole? I want to put a design almost to the tip of the rod, but I’m afraid the bend in the pole may damage the finished epoxy that far up. Any suggestions?

@jacobweidle6692 - great question Jacob and yes, there are people who run finish almost to the tip, but do not do that as I believe it effects the action of the rod.
