Hi Guys, have a question for you. I am having a tough time getting the end of the HST small enough to line up next to the reel seat.
I tried applying more heat, but it wouldnt shrink anymore. Can i trim it with a blade? Sand it? I have considered putting it on the rod lathe and cutting it flush with a blade then try to butt them up against each other. i have about 3/8 of in an inch currently past the eva underneath to play with. I think that may have been my original problem actually, I think I left too much overhang. First time doing this. As seen here: [www.rodbuilding.org] thanks!

Personally I would trim the end back (on the lathe with d thread) so it's a clean cut. I'd then either find the perfect rubber hostle or metal trim or make an epoxy ramp. Re: HST Question

Used my scalpel which gave me better leverage and obv better cutting power. Put a hosel in front and then right into reel seat. Thanks again. Not sure what you meant by putting an epoxy ramp there. I mean i have done those just didnt think it was the right spot for it since no other epoxy is present there. If i missed your intent let me know. Thanks again!!
