Has anyone installed a pac bay revolution real seat.
Im not sure how to set it up.
Should the butt be set in the arm pit to fish?
Or set up like a regular casting seat?

i have built lots of crappie rods on 9 ft. fly blanks. Is there anything special I need to do with a 12 ft. blank? Besides the obvious number of extra guides?

Ricky Fleming
So on a 12 ft. rod how long will your handle be? Same as on a 9ft. or any other?

Thanks Victor
my question is on turning them. how are you getting the blanks turned down to size? Turn on a mandrel?
do you use bushing like they use on pens to get down to the soze you need? or do you manually measure down to the needed size?
Do you chuch the wood and turn to size?

Does anyone turn their own wood reel seats for fly rods?
I am not sure how to get started.
i have pen turning mandrels. Im not sure if these will work. And if so where do i get the bushings?

I go to the orthodontist and ask for 1/4 inch rubber bands.
same thing as what has been talked about earlier.
They just give them to me. And I dont think it is because of all the money I donated
low temp foot adhesive also works.

I build lots of 8' and 9' crappie rods all on 5 wt. fly rod blanks. most are for jigging. some for casting. I start with a 20 stripper and work down to the 3.5 or 4's.
Bill has a good idea on starting with a 12 or 16. i may have to try that next time.

What is Parabolic Action? is this the same as Medium action? I have a buddy drinking the Carrot Stick Cool-Aid and wants me to build a 7ft. parabolic, medium action crank/spinner bait Rod. Is parabolic slower than medium action?

Has anyone replaced guides on the Quantum BRIS70MLA IM8 blue runner inshore. I suspect the Fugi LVSG's but im not sure. I am pretty sure it is not The BLAG's.

I am building a bait caster with a fuji reel seat rather than a Castaway. The Castaway's do not have an opening on the forward end of the seat. What do you do with the opening at the front of a Fuji seat? I am not using a forend cork.
Thanks
