Ahh I see.

I guess I'm thinking of the cone spools, which I dont think are well suited but I think you mean the 1100 ones that are capped on both ends and the thread wont "jump off" the side and wrap around the tensioner rod. In that case sure...
Forum: rodboard

The thing is that Madeira spools are meant to be stood upright and have the thread lifted up from the top to feed an embroidery machine, not laid down and have the thread pulled off under tension like a fishing reel. Unless the Renzetti is special (and for the price it might very well be) its better to transfer the amount your going to use to an empty spool and mount that on the tensioner. That

I dont have the issue in front of me..........I'll dig it up when I get home and do a new post, it was interesting too - there was a .net website but it never worked.

That was my fear, I'll wait to hear from her and hope. On another subject Tom, do you remember a gentlemen that endeavoring into the carbon fiber blank market? I read an article in RM and the article said that the guy was going to introduce the blank shortly but that was years ago. Did anything ever come out of this?
Forum: rodboard

Karen, I saw your post earlier this week and was wondering what ATC and CTS blanks were available........are they mostly light tackle or will heavier........ maybe tuna style blanks be there as well? Also is it only at the show or will you put anything online,, I am asking because I will probably not be able to make it.. Jason

Scott, pink might not work, orange yes- - do you have it or know where? The MudHole color is pretty good its just thin for my taste, William - you might have a point, maybe I'll try here with scraps to see. To be continued.. Jason

Billy, its a saltwater application but I usually keep EVA joints away from where I will be grabbing the grip. Its more like trim pieces just behind the winding check. I'm trying for like a flame color transition with red, orange, yellow then white and the only thing missing is orange to make the transition nice and gradual. I found something on MH.com but only in 1/8 strips, I wanted to make b
Forum: rodboard

Does anyone know how to make or buy out of ordinary EVA colors like orange? The available colors are extremely nice but I need orange for a particular color scheme I have. Thx

Gary are you sure you need rollers? LRSG or HBSG should do the trick and I'm thinking would flex alot more. Tuff butt is a good move, if you want the two piece functionality, Lakeland makes a saltwater aluminum reel seat that is ferruled....or take the wallet hit and pick up the Storabutt and have everything.

Excellent information gentlemen, thank you!
Forum: rodboard

Has anyone tried the "resurrected version" of this finish? From a couple of posts that I just read about the original, it was nothing short of awesome..... I'm about to place an order through one of our sponsors and noticed they have it in stock. Jason

Was wondering is there any outline on how to build a fly rod tip to butt? I am going to build a rod for a co-worker and want to make sure I cover all the differences between a fly rod and a - lets say - saltwater rod. If there is a RodMaker issue that covers this that will work too. Whats a good but not insanely expensive 9' #8 2 piece? Jason

@#$%& has some nice deals on the ~48 spool kits with a nice plastic carrying case. will run you about 100 dollars but the color selection is awesome
Forum: rodboard

Billy, I just shot you an email. Count me in for size B, probably a whole bunch of colors that I hope age like wine but will probably never use but cant resist buying because I have no self control....sorry was I spiraling?
