Hi,
I'm currently planning a build on a metallic green blank using black framed guides.
I'm relatively new to rod building and have only used color treated thread to date.
Was wondering if there was a way to blend the wraps with the blank and hide the guide feet at the same time?
Assuming a white nylon would show everything, but would a green nylon thread do what I'm looking for?

Hi,
Please excuse my naivety on this one, but just curious as to whether a 2500 size reel foot will fit in a size 14 reel seat.
In particular, looking at using an Alps ARD reel seat to hold a Shimano Stradic CI4+ 2500FB.
Just wanted something a little smaller than a size 16.
Cheers,
Paul Farrell

Hi,
Is any one who has a Pac Bay / Alps power wrapper able to tell me the height under the thread carriage track?
I'm after how high the bottom of thread carriage track sits off the table or bench.
Cheers,

Blank and tip top have arrived and the fit perfectly.
Ran the verniers over the blank and the specs on Mudhole are inaccurate.
Both tip and butt are smaller.
Beginners luck!
Cheers,
Paul.

Thanks again,
Yep have decided to mask then scrape towards the tip.
I'm in Australia, and I ordered the blank, guides and tip top from Mudhole last Friday morning (my time), and looks like I'll have it tomorrow. (Thursday in Oz).
Thats less than a week to get something shipped 15,000km (9320.5679 miles) . Quite impressed.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
I've ordered an MHX Metallic series blank, that called for a 5.0 tip top.
How ever I've now realized that painted models require a 5.5 for the particular blank I ordered.
I have order a 5.0 in error, so just wondering whether it is feasible to remove a little bit of the finish, assuming that the tip top I ordered will be a little small?
2.0mm vs 2.2mm
Regards,

Hi,
Have just ordered some CRB Micro Guide bands and have a quick question regarding their use...
Do they stretch over the tip top, or do you need to get the bands onto the blank before you glue the tip top on?
