Just asking a simple question here - do I have to change the settings in my Control Center to view the latest editions in the library or something? The reason I ask is the only New Guide Concept Primer article I see is the old table edge method from Volume 7 - Issue #1. I have Volume 10 - Issue #4 which is the 27x method but if someone searches the library and sees the same older version like me, this could cause some of the confusion that clogs up the site.

If the old version is actually the only one listed, seems to me it should either be replaced with the current 27x text or just deleted with a memo directing people to order Volume 10 - Issue #4 for more info.

I think there is only one library edition and you're probably seeing it already.

Any confusion about the NGC seemed to stop once the V10 #4 issue with the 27X factor came out. The text and articles were really well presented and it sure makes things easy. The earlier problem was that with Fuji's spool upsweep method you had many reels with so little or no upsweep that the choke guide was located out off the end of the rod. And this happened even on common reels with standard length blanks. I used to run into it quite often. People were on here every week asking about what to do when they ran into this.

I cannnot and will not speak for Tom but the fact that he has put up any articles into the library shows that he has not turned a blind eye to the rod builders who are nonsubscribers of the magazine. They may not get as up to date information as the subscribers do but they still get quite a bit and considering they pay him nothing I think its a nice gesture on his part. So I do not worry too much about how up to date the library is. If he chooses to put up the later article thats his business but I know that when the non subscribers start getting the same information that the subscribers get and just as timely, then there will be no more subscribers and no more Rodmaker. And then so many of the techniques we benefit from will be a lot longer coming if at all. Just my .02.

I try to put up a few new articles each year as funds allow. I am obligated to the magazine and the magazine's customers, however, so that remains the priority.

If things go well over the next few months I may add the newer NGC article at that time.
