About to put the order in. Is there an advantage to using the KB/KT as the choke and runners over the size 7 KL?
Forum: rodboard

I've actually got 2 rod blanks building one for myself and one for a friend. He is very against single foot likes the durability of double. I'm open to single so I guess I will build one with KL and the other with KW. Was looking at the MN top but they don't come in a size 7 ring is going from size 7 runners to an 8 tip going to be an issue? Also when using single foot guides do you guys l

Great sounds good Norm thank you. Thinking of doing the kw30 kw25 kw16 and kw10s as runners should work good yes?? I noticed the factory gsb 9ft uses double foot guides the entire way assuming they are kw as well in the following order 30 25 20 12 8 8 8. Seemed to me most NGC use 3 reduction guides they use 4?

Sorry was out of the country. Thank you all for all your help and support very much appreciated. I am a novice builder so parden me. Definitely want to do double foot so should I use a RV20H as 1st guide (I don't see a kw-h, something comparable to the 55.9mm Norman mentioned) and the follow with kw12 kw10 reduction? Recommend single foot runners (KL and KB) over using KW?

3m adhesive vinegar and warm water. I love the hb guides well made actually fit the blank nicely high profile. found I can use less when I do deflection tests. Built my first couple rod with fugi SV didn't like the look and felt dinky. What do you guys use for 20+# rods? I would post some pictures but Im not sure how
Forum: rodboard

Hello all I'm new to the forum and fairly new to the rod building hobby so please excuse me if I ask dumb questions, I've got a million. So my latest build is a calstar 970 7' 20-40# using Fuji HB guides I've laid gold abalone under the first 4 guides and really love the look and didnt have any issues with cracking. I would like to keep the theme going to the tip. My old rod builder told me he
