yes had a problem this week. Built him 6 trolling rods with Mot's Custom Rods logo then had his name that he wanted on it with blank specs. See the problem is i work in racing industry and the way he sees it is the cars get payed for the name on them for sponsorship. now i have been in the racing industry for 16 years and I do see where he come from but he must not be to mad because he came

from front of lip of spool i just got in from setting up one and had to move the stripper guide up a 1 inch and the transnsition guide up 1/2 inch
Forum: rodboard

19 1/2 to butt guide 30 1/2 for transition guide 39 7/8 for running guide. this will get you in the ball park but can move up and down to fit your reel size.
