i paint all my night fishing rod tips white. I use flat white krylon. wrap a piece of electrical tape around the second eye to stop the paing and make it look neat. when i get done and its dry, which dont take but a few minutes, i take a qtip and with brake parts cleaner, swab the paint out of the eye back to the smooth ceramic. If youve never fished at night with the painted rod tips, you are are in for a treat as it makes it much easier to see the bite when it comes. I see you are from rock hill. do you fish wylie muchd? thats where we do most of our nightstalking.
listen with your eyes---its the only way to beleive what you hear...
