Hi All,
I'm building a few MHX spin rod blanks. So far I've built a 6'6" Medium and ML rods with Pac Bay GBS blank-exposed real seats.
I'm now building the same 6'6" L and UL rods and their blank diameters are smaller and the GBS real seats ID are too large for the blanks.

Hi Everyone,
I recently wrapped a rod and used the wrapping motor on my ALPS Power Wrapper to apply the finish...switched it over to the dryer mode and to my surprise it didn't work. I've only used this wrapper for about 8 rods.
Any idea if the American Tackle / Pac Bay dryer motor will work on the ALPS?
Thanks in advance,

Hi All,

Insights or comments on my following questions would be greatly appreciated.

Todd,
Are those solid carbon blanks? As well, are they all MH or just the longest one? If not, what are the smaller two blank actions/power.
Thanks,

Hi,
First post in over 5 years so I had to re-register.
I'd like to build a few ice fishing rods for the winter. I'm planning on using solid graphite blanks by St. Croix, Thorne Bros, or any other suitable generic blank.
Lake Trout (outdoor) rod: 36" Medium-heavy
Fuji NPS reel seat (any other suggestions?)
Questions: approximately how many guides? 4-5 (based on static load test)
