Forum: rodboard

I have a couple cheap pre made rod's and just for giggles I checked the spline on them and guess what they where not built on the spline and I realize this is on a 100 dollar manufactured rod but it if was important you would think they would build on the spline.

I use a rotary type rasp on my drill and run it forwards then backwards, I believe it's a 1/2 size and most of my butt's are .520 or bigger...I do need to fine a finer cutting one as the one I have is coarse.

I have built 2 spiral wrap rods and have 2 more rod blanks ordered and they will be spiral wrapped, Im a bass fisherman and use mainly crankbait's and spinner baits. I have arthritic hands and fingers and it does help reduce fatigue on my hands and fingers. Using micro guides can be done as i have used them but the first and second guide making the transition is the most important part. I like to

I do static test everything before i wrap the guides to be sure of placement and adjust accordingly, my first guide is usually a 10 or 12, also like using a little taller standing guide on the first and second guide as i have found the line will rub on top of the guide, just an observation. I have used the air wave guides which seem to work well.
Forum: rodboard

I been using 3 guides to do my wraps with to get the line around, i even offset my first guide about 10 degrees.
Forum: rodboard

I used the airwaves on an 8 foot spiral wrap and they worked great.

I have a MHX blank that is 8 foot long medium heavy fast action and i broke 5 inches off the tip. Just wondering how bad this will effect the rod action and i guess it may change from a MH fastion to a Heavy xtra fast tip then..... i admit that i broke the rod as i got it pinched between boat and stump while trying to get my crank bait back....thanks...

I use alcohol pads that diabetics use, you get like 50 pads for like a buck, just wipe blank down with a couple and throw the pads away.

I bought a rod building kit with rod wrapper and dryer and and everything you need to build a rod(well almost everything) and a rod building kit from mud hole for like 150 bucks ... it was a package deal.

Forum: rodboard

I ordered the 17 spool pack anyway, i figured for that price what the heck as i'm sure i'm going to like it. I have only built 3 rods so im not set in my way's yet...lol
Forum: rodboard

Since this is stretchy thread, do you set your thread tensioner the same as no stretch thread?
Forum: rodboard

Here's the MHX blanks i ordered from mudhole, was a 8 foot 10-20 pound test line for crankbaits, i haven't used it on deep divers yet but have used it on medium divers and it seems ok. I built it as a spiral wrap.
Forum: rodboard

Great ideas Roger...thanks..
Forum: rodboard

Room for me is a premium also now. I don't plan on building any casting rod or spinning rods longer than 8 foot, so 8 foot bench would work then. Thanks for replies.
