i was interested in building a standup rod with a spiral wrap...i have the rodmaker issue (sep/oct 03) which provided great info on the process....i was looking to see if there were any other resources or suggestions for getting started on this...i was looking to build a 50-80lb short stroker rod w/short curved uni-butt...any info would be appreciated.

thank you

What length were you looking for overall? The curved butt will shorten the rod a little but it's alot easier using a short straight butt on a stand-up. You can get blanks in varying lengths and should be able to trim the butt section down some if desired. The short straight butt adds about 19" to the rod length. The curved butt not that much less.
