This thread is for those who tape ferrules. Which method is most effective?
I tape roughly 1.5 inches below to 1.5 inches above a joint with one spiral wrap overlapping approximately half the previous wrap. I try to end the wrap on the back side of the rod opposite the snake guides.
Using electrical tape of a different color than the blank works best for me. If I use black, it can be damn hard to find the edge for disassembly in the dark.
Some folks use masking tape; I have not tried it.
Some spiral up, then back down; I have not tried that either.
Some wrap a band below the joint, then wrap a band above the joint, then proceed with one of the above methods. What is your experience with this method?
