Used bright orange paint supposedly made for plastic, fiberglass, metal, on about 6" of rod. It chips off and just naturally wears off just from handling. Just doing what I want now.

Wife trapper W Joined: Aug 2015 NE NE	I have all my fiberglass water stakes painted. They are color coded from 4' to 8' but I have no beaver rods (1/2" dia. X 10'). Really for the 6 -8 weeks they are out during the season the color is all I am concerned about for length (Rat stakes). I am religious about storing them under shelter to keep the uV rays off of them for the 10 months they are not outside. Shedding splinters is a sure sign of too much sunlight so a coat of house paint (oil) with your choice of color would be a good investment and slow the glass shard deterioration. Paint mine as needed which is usually a dozen or so each year. 4' of 1" dia. PVC with a cap on 1 end and paint added for dipping works for me. My experience. ................the mike
