It does not need any coating. In fact, in such cases, it is usually the coating, not the carbon fiber, than eventually wears.

Thanks Jay, I sent an email to the contact info for EDGErods on the 13th, there reply is below, so far notheing.

Michael, I opted to attempt the static load test with the guide spacing I planned to use (after having already wrapped the stripper guides). Here is the picture of that, it is my first attempt at using the static load for checking guide placement. I had to use the manual focus and focus fringing to get the rod and line as the focal point. I have downsized this image as the file would have been very large. I hope this helps.

Thanks Christopher it will help!

Alright I had to figure out how to upload a photo (it required a 2nd registration, instructions were in the sticky). Here is the picture of the rod taken today.
Herself held the rod while I snapped a few photo's. You can decide if the guide spacing I previously stated looks good for your build. I followed the instruction on this site under the library for how to perform the static load test.

Cheers.
