Good information Aaron. I cleaned up some stuff and downloaded Foxfire. That seems to be working okay
Forum: rodboard

Thanks for the suggestions. I will contact mudhole on this. It does the same on both my Mac and my iPad, but it works on my Android phone. I even restarted the wifi. I tried the Safari and the Chrome browsers and got the same results. Good to hear that others aren't experiencing this problem.

Anyone else having major issues with the Mudhole website? This new version is a total mess. Now I can't even view my cart or proceed to check-out without a big message that says it can't load this website and to try again later. Well I have been trying for two days ???? I have even restarted my computer thinking it just me be me but no go?

If any of you follow the Jay Kumar's Bass Blaster online {link below) he is probably the most well know around Bass fishing leagues and knows sooooo many of the pros. Anyway, he recently had an article on his website that guy who must be a rather large custom builder (I think), In the article this person told Jay that LINE SIZE affects rod action??? He goes on farther to say that heaver line

I have a 7 ft American Tackle power wrapper and have done several 11 foot surf rods with ease. What i do is turn the rod around so that the tip is now down near the chuck area. Where the larger butt is hanging over the end of the wrapper I use my rod supports from my drying machines and merely shim under it until it holds the butt section level with the rod rests on the wrapper. The same can b

X 2 on Tom Kirkman suggestion. I would let it completely cure then just cut it off and start over. It should come out like new!!

Joel Welcome tp the forum and the addictive art of rodbuilding. Enjoy the process of building your new rod and don't worry too much about mistakes. You can fix most anything you do, not to your liking. We all make mistakes no matter how long you have been building so welcome to the club. And when you are finished post a couple of photos of your new rod. Tom Toms Custom Rods

I also use only Rod Bond and most always in the fast set. It is easy to use and the fast set lets me move down the rod rather quickly. If I need more time I'll use the regular. Toms Custom Rods

Beautiful Roger and i will now watch the entire movie. When my grandchildren see me crawling around on the floor looking for that micro or larger guide I remind them about the 12 inch hole in the floor directly beneath me that things have fallen into and never been found !!!

Thanks David. I could of asked Carol at Utmost Ent. to measure it and send a seat but I have several here and didn't want to duplicate what I carry in stock. Thanks all for your replies Tom

Does anyone know if Batson publishes the blank diameter specs for reel seat placement and winding checks for the Immortal rod series. I have looked but haven't come up with them. Any help is appreciated. Tom

Forum: rodboard

That is a bad area to repair but it can be done. Hopefully it was a clean break, you can't sleeve an area with splintered graphite, You will have to come up from the back end of the rod with your inner sleeve . IT HAS TO BE FIBERGLASS or it will fail again, I would push an old fiberglass rod that closely matches the inner diameter up though the blank until you see it at least 3 inches above the

Looking for help finding a tip top for a heavy power casting rod. The rod has 4 mm micro guides and my customer broke the ring in the tip. What I am looking for and so far can't find is either a 4 or 4.5mm ring with a 7.5 tube. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I wouldn't be opposed to going up to a 5 ring if the smaller ones aren't out there. Thanks

It is my understanding that Gary Loomis sold only the marketing rights to the name G Loomis and not the actual rod blanks. The Loomis rods mentioned above can be found today at Mudhole as they bought the mandrels that were designed by Loomis and now produced by MHX, and the SB812 on their website !!

And the guides were welded on not epoxied !!!

If you are making a dedicated Frog Rod the better choice would be a MB874. If you read the description on the Mudhole site they even say it is a frog rod. I have been building this rod for years for all of my bass tournament guys and with over thirty of them in the field it is the choice of the best out there. It has tons of power and a tip that will cast a frog a country mile unlike a flippi

Personally I think Fuji screwed up big time. My customers are buying into the fact that gray is the new black in guides. Going to be interesting what the big rod manufactures do about it ???? Those are great looking guides Don !!!!

In my opinion Gary Loomis is to the rod building industry to what Steve Jobs was to cell phones. A leader, a innovative creator and a one of a kind individual. Congrats on your birthday and wishes for many more. Tom Wewerka
Forum: rodboard

The only thing I should add is that Fuji is no longer making BLACK guides in any configuration. Big mistake the way i see it so if you want black guides you will have to look elsewhere
