33. decal
blank supplier said I could put the rod info decal they supply directly on the rod blank and finish over it which I did and it worked fine. However I can see the edges of the decal, which I dont like. Any way to make it "disappear" next time?

So, when I load the rod for guide placement I need to make sure the handle is secure so it wont spin?

Thanks for the reply Tom. I have yet to build a rod but have been reading alot and ready to pull the trigger. All videos Ive seen the first step is spining the rod then I read on here that its not required, just a little confusing. Thanks Scott
