I'm putting my wish list to gether and wasn't sure what pitfalls lay ahead with winding checks. My butt diameter is .495 = 12.57mm and my options for ordering range from 12-12.5mm. I guess my question is with alumminum winding checks is it advisable to get one smaller in diameter then drill out the hole or buy bigger and epoxy in place? any help will be much appreciated!

Mike, I haven't dug into the details on that yet. With that being said I've danced around the subject of starting a small business before and believe myself to have laimens understanding of the two. I do need to dig into it and fully understand whats what and who's who in the zoo.

Hello I'm looking to get a business started building rods (something to cure my tinker bug and add to my fervor for fishing) and would like any lessons learned about small business insurance or the likes from the experienced crowd. All lessons learned are welcome. I'm trying to keep from starting over in the school of hard knocks!

Hello All, Future builder here, I've been building my shopping cart while looking at the oceans worth of components and ran across "Graphite reel seat arbors". Does anyone have any experience adding these to their rods and/or fishing with them. Do they add sensitivity to the system or are they more of an option/gimmick?
