Hello, based on my research when you set up a vertical jigging rod using a spinning reel 10,000 or smaller the gudies are as follows, 30-20-16-12-10-10 tiptop 10. no most 5'4''-5'6'' rods. Why can't you go 30-20-12-8-8-8-tiptop 8 or 30-20-12-10-10-10 tiptop 10 ?

for me, the better one of the two is waterslide. peel n stick are kinda thick compared to waterslide and follows the contour better than peel n stick. easy to get the bubbles out, easy to install, easy to move around to straighted it parallel to the blank. no other solvent needed, just distilled water.
Forum: rodboard

Threre's a guy in the nerbs facebook page that prints decals on waterslide ,he advertised it as $45 per sheet. I got a sheet from him and they were real good. I got half of the sheet in silver and half in gold.
Forum: rodboard

is there any other purpose on putting finish on the underwraps other than it helps in wrapping the overwrap so it won't dig?
Forum: rodboard

where can i get the solution where you spray on the peel and stick decal and allows you to move the decal a little bit.. decalcon no longer sells those.
Forum: rodboard

i'm sure it was deisgned as well as it could be deisgned. out of the hundreds of people who bought the lathe with the attachment, you're the only one who complains about it not designed right. perhaps you should design your own, find a machine shop to machine it according to your specs.

call the company, best source of info.
Forum: rodboard

just called teknatool and they said they have the "JSPIN" jaw that will fit the teknatool midi chuck and it would grip upto 1/4", cost is $56.
Forum: rodboard

roger, the lathe is a rockler mc1018. Tom, the chuck is a teknatool 4 jaw precision midi chuck. the jacobs chuck goes to about 1/2 inch that is keyed, i tried to tap it into the headstock with a rubber mallet and it takes it, MT2. but i dont want to use the jacobs chuck in the headstock because i want it int he tailstock, since it is keyed, i want it to grip the mandrel so it wont come flyin
Forum: rodboard

the tailstock has the 1/2 inch jacobs chuck. how will i connect it to the head stock? i tried putting the jacobs chuck to the headstock but the metal thing that goes inside the headstock slipped. BTA, $200 for the midi lathe, teknatool 4 jaw chuck and jacobs chuck, is it a good deal?
Forum: rodboard

I just got a lathe off craigslist but the lathe came with a teknatool 4 jaw self centering chuck that only goes down to 1/2 inch, i would like to go as small as 1/4 inch so i can grip a 1/4inch mandrel. what will I purchase so i can grip 1/4inch?

heavy saltwater boat rod 80# 6'4''. i just want to use the 20 to make sure the line doenst hit the hand. i've built a spiral using 16-12-12-12--10 running guides but i have never built using a 20, jsut wondering what size to use after the 20.
Forum: rodboard

i have a question that pertains to this spiral wrap so i'll just post here. if you are doing a slow spiral (3 guide transition) and start with a 20 at 0degrees, what's the next size to use at the 60degrees, can i use a 16 or a 12? i want the running guides to be 10's. can i make it like this 20 (0) - 16 (60) - 12 (120) - 10(180) all the way to the tip?

cartridges are not hard to find. they are vailable and plenty if you know where to look. theya re available from a guy in new zealand at a reasonable price cheaper than the @#$%& hoarders who led you to believe that the cartridges are becoming instinct. Also, pawis parker foil fast p21x uses the same cartridges, the pawis parkers is basically an alps 5000, it has USA tech support, inks by the
