Sam.....I use the latex tubing from Mudhole......sometimes I use 2 pieces of tubing ....one on the guide foot and the other behind the guide and then slide the two pieces of tubing together to keep the guide where I want it while I wrap....for the last 2 or 3 guides I use 3 CRB micro bands in front and behind of the guides

Same happened with me...no RodGeeks rod decals....Called their customer service and visited with Deb......She was more than obliging in sending me the decals I needed...When you call the phone number on RodGeeks website you will get St. Croix Customer service...just ask for RodGeeks customer service and they will forward your call.

Fot David Baylor, Tom Wewerka and/or others......Getting ready to install Alps MVT Toray casting reel seat and my insert was not pre-epoxied into the reel seat....What can/should you use to epoxy the insert in place???? Should I epoxy the insert into reel seat first OR epoxy the insert onto the blank where it is going to be positioned and then install reel seat??? Thanks in advance.

The way I started was similar to Lance.....I tried to duplicate rods that I liked......Alot of the time, Rod Manufacturers will list what rod components or what brand of components they may use on particular rods.....this was a good starting point, getting an idea of my own what I wanted. Any sponsor on the left has quality components, and are very open to questions. You can not go wrong orderi

I have ordered an Eternity RX 10 ETEC72MH-SS for soft plastics. I have seen positive comments on this site regarding the Alps MVT16 Toray Reel Seat. Having built close to 30 casting rods, I have mainly used Fuji ECSM reel seats and have not needed an insert. The MVT Toray has an insert, not being familiar with inserts, what purpose does it serve???? I am fairly sure it will be a 16-12.5 or clo
