Rick

I apologize ahead of time if this is a really stupid question. However, I have never built a rod before but have ordered components and some start up material for my 1st build (spinning rod). My question is this. I have watched several videos on assembling the handles parts and the reel seat etc... But I am confused as to whether I need to epoxy the butt grip and then let it set up before mov
