I'm still new to rod building, I really like the High Modulus Rods, However I seem to have a much harder time finding the spine of those type of rods. Is there a better way to find it on the Modulus rods, Or am I just getting substandard rods. Thanks

I am curious to see if there is a system or way to figure out the size of wind checks I would need to order prior to receiving the blanks and supplies in the mail, I find myself trying to guess or ordering after the fact the right wind checks I was wanting to know how some of you know the right size wind checks to order. Thanks

I just completed a medium spinning rod, I finished the orange rod with white nylon thread, while putting on the first coat of epoxy the thread absorbed it and turned clear! not sure how to cover it up. Was considering putting testor paint in the epoxy for the last coat to cover it up. thanks for any help!

I fish inshore saltwater 90% of the time , I make rods for my boys who like to use spinning reels along with most of my friends, I use Abu Garcia standard casting 5600 &6500 . Rods are generally 6.6- 7 med heavy to heavy.
