Roger, Thanks for the response. I have built on the RS 7’6” popping rod blanks , great blanks. The customer wants a very “limber” rod. The one he is replacing flexes into the mid section easily, a very “whippy” top section. The R S blanks are a bit to stiff for him.. Thanks, Pat Barnard

X2 on the Ricon. I finally spent the money on the Ricon as well as a set of NOVA chucks. One of the best purchases I have made in building rods. Makes turning grips a breeze. Good luck on your search. Pat Barnard

Try using the smallest rubber tubing cut in small lengths, tried it and have never went back to tape. Wrap up to the band, slice with razor blade and your done. No residual. Pat Barnard

In a recent Rodmaker it showed the steps to make a butt grip using cork as the body and a yellow foam practice golf ball cut in half as the cap. Very innovative and it will give you the color you are looking for. Pat

I know the feeling. I guess I am to anal. I have done several rods without trimming and got the edge on the top and bottom of the decal, even after applying a coat of finish first. But once you trim the excess the edges are virtually invisible. Hope it works for you. Pat

If you need additional information just let me know. 1. Print decal. Using scissors trim as close as possible to the letters/object. Very sharp scissors are a must to ensure a clean precise cut. The goal is to remove a

Greetings, Can anyone who has experience with Pro Kote finish give their opinion? What have you noticed in reference to ease of use, yellowing, pot life, application of heat, etc, etc. Also the same for the Pro Paste. I have tried to get the company to reply but had no luck.
