Ok, got home last night and took guide wrap off. Filed down guide foot to remove hump to a very sharp taper.....the thread climbed right up the foot with no markable transition! Looks 100% better than my first attempt. Thanks for "teh" advice and keep the tips coming!!!!! Brent Glover/Washington NC Re: 1st Rod build Follow up/advice taken/good result

My 1st build here is from a Mudhole Kit....Fuji guides......wrapped the first one and the "hump" at the foot of the guide gave me some trouble.....had to double back to basically build a ramp to allow the thread to climb....was worried about how it would finish so i posted for some tips a few days ago.....had many great responses.....cut wrap off and filed down guide until sharp, wrap flowed seamlessly up the guide foot and now looks great. Thanks. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
