What size line will you be throwing? How much lure weight? Shock leader?

I just built a ultra lite 2-8line 6'3" rod. Cast like a champ.

I really like the microwave 50's. Smooth casting
Forum: rodboard

I can say for a fact that the 316 stainless that American tackle uses is better than the top leading competitor. Hands down the act guides are way better. I had a set of the chrome microwaves and a set of virtuse guide on surf and on inshore rods. I used them daily and did not wash off for a year tring to make them corrode. Not a speck of it. I did this to see if I wanted to sell to customers.

The Bushidos are the straightest lightest best bang for your buck.

You will be fine with the virtus lites. They are truly the best guide.

To much heat or a start of fisheye.

Make sure to mix atleast 4ml of both so that if your off a little it won't be so bad.

The AXSU100M-2 from American tackle in the atx series 10' 15-30 1-4 2 pc. MOD-FAST MEDIUM 7.0 0.608 6.9 This blank is a 50/50 split but for the money it's a great buy. I build them a lot for throwing sting silvers for blues and Spanish.

Also check with decal connection. There work is great and great people to deal with.

Ive had good luck using acrysol on shrink tubing cleaning them. I have red shrink on a surf rod and cleaned it and looked like new.
Forum: rodboard

Look into the microwave guides easy set up and lighter.
Forum: rodboard

Other blanks to look at are the bushido's by American tackle. There mag bass MB73/8-15 makes a great shakey head blank. Very sensitive, with the microwaves is a match made in heaven.
Forum: rodboard

I run 10mm runners and start off with a 30mm fit in what fits for transition guides and looks right and test cast it.
