Yes, they work as advertised. There are complete plans in the May/June 2000 issue of RodMaker.

I built a spine finder just like the one Tom referred to in RodMaker magazine. It's easy to build, easy to use, and it works great. You can go to www.rodmakermagazine.com and order a back issue if you don't have that particular issue.

Marcel By all means go to the rodmaker web site and order the May/June 2000 back issue that gives you the plans for the spine finder. I was having a lot of trouble finding the spine on a couple of rods i am working on until i built one. They are easy to build and work great. Just put the blank in the spine finder add a little pressure to the tip and the spine is right on top of the curve.. They are worth every penny they cost to build and then some. Rick
