So I've read about static load testing for guide placement , but I've also read that assembled blanks shouldn't really be flexed until you wrapped the ferrules (I think I've even seen suggestions to not even assemble the rod before wrapping the ferrules) to prevent splitting. So what's the common practice? Do a quick and dirty wrap for static load testing/test casting that you remove to do the finish wrap? Do the finish wrap in the first place? Static Load test/test casting without a wrap and a cross your fingers? Something else (masking tape,...)? Re: Static Load Guide Testing

Most multi-piece no longer require that you reinforce the ferrules, but it's a simple matter to do so and will put your mind at ease. Just put a quick, snug wrap on there prior to the doing the static test.

I always do a couple of masking tape turns. easy, quick, and gives me peace of mind when I fiddle with the blank. _______________________________________________ If I'm not going to catch anything, then I'd rather not catch anything on flies.
