What are your thoughts on the GBC blanks that Get Bit Outdoors have made for them?
Do you think they are any good?
Thank you,

Hi Everyone,
I am going to building a 7' ultra light rod for Crappie fishing.
This rod will be for casting jigs only, no bobber fishing.
In order to get the most distance from the shore, do I want a mod action? or a fast action?
Thank you for your input.

For all you veteran rod builders out there.

Dan,
Did you use that glue on the threads? or just the handles and seat?
Thank you,

Well I tested the glue out on a wooden dowel.
I wanted to see if it would tern my nylon thread a darker color or retain its brightness.
It darkened just as much as the rod epoxy.
So failed test.
I will just have to use a colorfast.
Thanks for all your input.

I purchased an E-Glass rod from Get Bit Outdoors in Florida.
It was actually an 8" rod but I cut it down. Med Heavy power with moderate action. 15-30 in line weight.
I believe part number was #Glass80MH
Happy Building.

On the top of my fore grip it measures 0.664
The winding checks only come on 0.600 or 0.700
Will the 0.600 stretch enough to work? or will it be to tight?
Thanks

27. Reamer sizing
I am putting together a catfish rod. The butt size is 0.790.
Is my xl size reamer going to be large enough to ream the handle? Or do I need to go to the xxl size reamer?
Thanks
