I seen a casting factory rod that had a split grip no forgrip set up. As usual the reel seat threads were too long, but, they figured a way to compensate for that, and it was kinda neat really. They had the standard reel seat hood holding on the reel and it was followed by an EVA (the whole split grip was EVA) cover that screwed up right behind the reel seat hood and just covered the reel seat threads perfectly. Just something kinda neat I've never seen before. It was a Field and Stream Tech Spec rod. Heck of a bargain I thought for $59.00.....not that I'd own one! LOL

I want a really day glo yellow. Its hard to tell from the chart on the computer screen. The three likely numbers are 1823, 1935 or 1995. If some of you guys that use Madeira all the time could give some imput I would greatly appreciate it.]]> James Roper rodboard Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:24:30 -0400 http://rodbuilding.org/read.php?2,342483,342483#msg-342483 http://rodbuilding.org/read.php?2,342483,342483#msg-342483
In particular, comparing the 7'6"ML blank of each series.

Thanks for any comparisions.

In comparing the specs, the numbers are very close. But would like to have user experience, if possible

Here are the concerns...One,I could still see the glue lines meaning I either used too much adhesive or didnt clamp them tight enough??
Two,the edges where the two different colors meet still feel ''cornered''...I sanded it round but it felt sort of octagon shaped...Does that make sense?

So Im curious on some other methods I should try for a better outcome...Also,a good contact adhesive recommendation...The one I use is good but I think it dries too hard leaves hard lines.

Thanks guys!

I made this rod for my brother in 1974 or 1975. The chevron has come loose and broken in a few places. All of the Guide wraps are intact, it is just the chevron that is "bad". He told me "do not change the guide wraps just the butt wrap". I have taken the chevron thread off and am now I am going to redo the wrap, the under wrap is OK so am not plannng on removing it.

The finish I used on it the first time was Varnish. As I remember I put on 8 or 10 coats of varnish. Over time the varnish has "disappeared". It feels like there is only CP on the threads now.
The real question is.......can I put an other type of finish over the varnish? I will reapply finish on the guide wraps too.

thanks
