Hey! ... *scratches neck* Do you guys still have some of that metallic tape or know where to find it?
Forum: rodboard

Yep! It is gonna be a search I guess. I found the brand I believe from a helpful fellow on FB Perfection brand.
Forum: rodboard

What kind of guides are these? I found similar but not the rounded like the original at mudhole. I remember someone saying there was an issue with this style, but I'm not worried about that, just looking to match aesthetics.

Well, I also was looking at this carbon fiber sleeve that is 1.25 diameter. I would not be able to have anything in between the sleeve and the fiberglas. Is that bad for the fiberglass to have epoxied carbon fiber directly on it?
Forum: rodboard

I just measured the butt end and it is 1.25" OD. I was looking at shrink tubing but wasn't sure if it would look cheesy or not.

Hello, It's me again, I'm looking to refinish my 13'6" lamiglas honey. The butt cord on it is fine, but I was thinking about switching it up with something different. Is it a bad idea to try can fit cork onto a large butt like that? I want to bring the foregrip down a bit so I can show off the logo. I'll get the ID and OD of the butt shortly. Should have thought of that first...

900 feet is insane. I think I will go with 9-10 guides maybe.

Hello, I need help picking out the sizes and style of guides for this beautiful rod I have. I was thinking of using the same old guides if I could find them but I believe that any guides will do as long as they are quality and look nice on it. I have been staring at Mudhole's website and I can't figure out what sizes I need to use. Can anybody help a newbie out? I can take
Forum: rodboard

I guess I could, but I like the color scheme they have going on. I know about the GPS system for placement on spinning rods, but I don't know how to figure out placement on large conventional rods.
Forum: rodboard

I'm not even sure what brand I'm looking for.... I'm pretty new to this... I was told these could be mildrum guides? I'm not sure though. I don't even know how many guides I need to put on this damn rod. 6? 7? 11? Its 12.5' long. I wish I more knowledge on this.

Looking for help in finding a similar or matching set of guides for my Lamiglas. If you need more pictures, please let me know!
Forum: rodboard

Thank you for the encouragement and thank you Tom for the link. I already found an old rod tip section that is going to fit it perfectly. Just going to read the instructions a few times before doing it because the fiberglass even matches so its like.... lets not F it up.. haha I'm really excited and I appreciate your guys' help!
Forum: rodboard

Awesome!!! I never thought of that. Thank you so much. Hopefully there won't be, but next time i won't trim the damage off.
Forum: rodboard

Hello First, I emailed Okuma and they are out of this rod indefinitely so they are unable to send me a tip. So, I was hoping to upload some photos here for help but I can't for the life of me, figure that out.... I have to ends that are 3.5mm ish to 3.2mm ish. I trimmed the fractured parts of the rod away so there are flat. I removed the guide that was closest to the fracture point to gi
Forum: rodboard

Thank you SO much! This definitely helps me A LOT. Do you remember what size guides are on the rod or have a guess by chance? SideNote: Do you think 20# dacron is good enough for backing with 20# mono? Should I go more than 6-7 layers, maybe bump it up to 14-16 layers? OR should I get 40# dacron? Does mono still shrink like the old kind did? This is actually really important to me because m

Hello! I have been trying to find a guide, or anything to help me determine how many guides I need on my 13' 6" Honey Lamiglas 5m surf rod. I am going to be using a Squidder 140L with dacron backing, to mono, or dacron to braid... haven't decided yet. I've been told these rod is for chucking huge weights, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't understand how the GPS system works, and I th

I rubbed down the lamiglas with the murphy oil, and used a clean rag to scrub it, holy crap guys. I'm going to do this to all the cork I have. I need to get the sealant and filler still but just ... cleaning the cork makes it looks brand new. I don't know why I never thought of doing that before. And if I haven't said it already, THANK YOU for letting me know my rod wasn't retarded, just s

Oh good! I was afraid someone ruined a Lamiglas or it was built incorrectly. I'll definitely give your rejuvenation tips a try! Ah I didn't see photo section
Forum: rodboard

The rod doesnt look as bad as I remember on the cork. I must have been thinking about a different one, but all the tips are definitely helpful. Sorry it took so long to get these photos. I had to find a place to upload them first. Sorry the pictures are so huge.
Forum: rodboard

Ill get some pictures posted when I get home. I definite dont want to wrap it, as it was done nicer than I could. Im still waiting to do my first rod. The crushed cork is on the butt side. The pictures will definitely help. Sorry i didnt post them initially!
Forum: rodboard

Hello, I just picked up a nice Lamiglas 8 1/2 foot. The builder had wrapped the cork all the way into the seating area, so in order to attach a reel, you have to crush a portion of the cork. I'm thinking I can just cut the excess off, but in case it goes the wrong way, I had a few questions about the pits in certain areas. First, would you suggest filling the pits on the cork handle, or re
