Wrapping a sage VXP 4 wt for a customer .
Now on some fly blanks i wrap the ferule.
These look like they may not need it and their website does not say either way.
As the blank is just at 1.1 oz on my scale i am reluctant to add extra mass of the wrap plus two coats of PG.
Anyone know how they stand up without a ferule wrap?

Only Sage can advise you as to whether they reinforce their ferrules or not. If their factory rods are wrapped, then I might suspect they're not. Maybe.

A short wrap of 00 or A, perhaps a quarter inch at the edge of the ferrule, will prevent a split out otherwise and won't add any appreciable weight.

I would wrap them with some white silk and then put a thinned coat of epoxy over that, Your actual added weight will be minimal and you will not see the wrap.

Thanks guys. contacted Sage directly which i should have done from teh get go. They say do NOT add reinforcing wraps.
