Phil - This information is why I need to learn from y'all on this site. The first time I replaced some guides on a rod all I read and all that was mentioned in videos was "epoxy". I didn't know there was a special rod building type. I hope the difference isn't inclusive of me ruining a nice blank. Now that I am gaining insight I will focus on technique and purpose specific materials

Thank you all for the warm welcome. The rod actually performed quite well so I don't have a long list of questions. I wanted to make light power, fast action, light weight, highly sensitive rod that could cast well and handle strong fighting fish if necessary. I was out today for 10 hours or so and the rod was only out of my hands for maybe 30 minutes total. Very simple build: SCV light fast

Greetings everyone. I am just getting into rod building, or assembly that is. I have found some interesting information here. I hope that a novice floating around doesn't bother y'all. I found this site searching online for info regarding custom rods because there are certain builds I like but aren't sold anywhere. I know you all probably get lots of new comers asking all sorts of questions
