Hi everyone,
I'm building 5 little game rods all the same, rear grips reel seats foregrips on, all of them line up perfectly, measured for winding checks and things aren't right. these are the sizes i got, 12.9mm, 13.2mm, 13.3mm 12.8mm and 13.2mm.. Ive never come across this before..Has Calstar got a problem or are these blanks not what they say they are..? Re: calstar blanks

There is a lot of hand labor in a rod blank. It's not likely that they'll all be exactly the same diameter at any given point along the rod blank. It looks like .4mm was your greatest variance which doesn't sound out of sorts to me.

ok, thanks Tom, maybe ive picked up on it because they need 2 different size winding checks, whereas if they all fell into the same size i probably wouldn't have noticed.
