I have been trying for ages to get the script to work on my website so a customer can design a rod by selecting the components and then it generates an image of the rod, a parts list for me and a quote for the customer. Its a great concept in theory and can be done as you can pick the options on some motor vehicle sites and it works. but be prepared to put in some killer hours as there is a lot

It's no trend yaks are becoming increasingly popular due to the fact that most people can afford a yak and get to places thet cannot reach on foot. My business services the yak fishing market down here and it continues to grow. Fishing from a yak is great fun but calling it a trend would infer that it will die out which won't happen as a plastic yak will outlast a boat in sevicability many tim

I purchased one from the expo they are really good the resolution is great and the software is fairly intellegent. I purchased it at the expo because it will run fine on 110 or 240v I just changed out the cord. For the price of this little printer its a ripper it can only do single colour metalics like silver on clear gold on clear, gold on black etc you just swap out the tape to suit. It comes w

I converted my handwriting into a font its not to hard to do just google how to make fonts that way you can send the new font to your favorite decal maker and get back an honest representation of your signature. I find it almost impossible to sign a blank as I'm left handed and it always smudges by creating the font from your handwriting on a flat surface it would be a much closer rep of your act

I use kdps cut in half then an sk hood which needs a couple of turns of 1/4 tape. Kdps fits everything including aeros I also cut about 3/8th off the front of the sk hood ream out the little hole an fit a matagi wcs10 in it fits beautifully. Jim does anglers carry eva hoods for kdps 16s I can only seem to find cork unless I order through matagi. I know mudhole has cork but no listing for eva.

I match the blank aswell with silver or neon green trims. I always use titanium or chrome guides. Hats off to St Croix every sc4 in pearl blue I have built has an absolutely flawless finish and they just oooze quality I know its a little thing but I like how they protect the tip with those little caps aswell.

If you read my post I was trying to make the point that microwaves differentiate my product. I totally agree with you about independent varifacation but like I stated lets assume they are at least equal in performance, pricing and defferentiation was my point. Yes I am ATC prostaff and proud of it but I will not put a guide system on one of my rods that is inferior. My whole reason for my post

Ok my turn, I have been using MWG since they were first made available before I joined the American Tackle Co prostaff and I was sceptical at first until I took the time to build comparison rods and check them out personally. I don't particularly like the idea that some shelf rods are going to be using MWGs because from day one I have been making premium priced rods that perform great. I make

I build them both ways when I use an American Tackle Co Aero seat or any fuji seat I almost always use a kdps as they fit pretty much all seats. The trick I found is to cut the kdps tube in the centre and then use a fuji SK hood just a couple of wraps ofmasking tape and your good to go. You also need to remove three threads off the seat on ips and vss seats because it will bottom out and stop the

Hi Ray, I will have them and a few other newer products for you guys to check out at the SEARBs meet up mate. Im also hoping to do a live video hook up with Darrin and Ben from American Tackle Co so you guys can ask any questions to the guys themselves just going through the skpe set up stuff now so that should be a great opportunity for everyone.

I build heaps of rods and like Don I use them pretty much exclusivley, best guides on the market and now you can order Tidal Wave versions in Titanium they just got even better, I could give you about 100 customer testimonials they all love them, I have even had a fair few customers send me their other rods to fit MWG's to because they are so impressed.

I have been using ncp for trims lately with great subtle effects I use a light grey with black which looks classy and a neon orange with my label of the same colour. Im really starting to like the look plus its a lot nicer to wrap than metallic. That said that blue may be a little to close to black do a test wrap and wet it you will see a pretty close representation of what it will look like

Might consider putting the shrink wrap on before the stripper guide goes on or you may not be able to use a shrink wrap that will come down tight enough to hold a reel and fit over a reasonably high MWG stripper. I have never done it before just a thought.

Hi Bert, Two pieces of masking tape one on the front the other on the backing, leave the one on the front on until you place the decal on the rod then remove it. This works a treat for most decals and everytime in MWG decals.
