I do prep the guide feet but i also could move for alignment with only a little pressure on the side.

124. guides coming loose
I have only built a few rods and havent had any problems. But recently I built 3 for my son and on every one the guides are getting loose.I did everything the same except he wanted them fast so only used 1 coat of pro kote medium build and 24 hours after finish was applied he was fishing with them. Was this to soon or did i not get enough finish on them.

As i said hoping to add some flash without weight the green was chosen to match an Okuma Helios spinning reel.

Thankys guys. I got the silver glitter from Mud Hole im hoping to add a little bling without adding weight will apply it to thread wraps with chartruese thread. If i get it on a little heavy i guess i can cut it off and start over.

127. glitter in finish
Is there a formula for adding glitter to finish. For instance do you add a certain amount for every ounce of finish or just wing it.

Just had the guts to try PG for the first time I will say it is the best. But you will need good ventilation the smell is terrible.

129. Phenix Iron feather
Has anyone built on or fished this blank? I just got one and it looks like they cut off 18" of the tip and glued an ice rod tip in the hole. Never saw anything like it.

131. Re: Advice on Lathe
Will the 14" mandrel from Mud Hole fit in the Jet 1014 mini. I too just bought this lathe it came today and I measured between centers and there is barely enough room even though the tail stock was off the bed a little bit.

132. cork or eva
which one do you all prefer and why. I like cork because of the feel and i have not found a way to clean foam. If you get fish slime or bait on it it never comes off.

136. Re: Strange question
The tip is 2/64 solid. It is on the Phenix Iron Feather a xtra fast UL 7' 7" I like the feel but it is just a blank will wait until its finished to see how soft it gets. I will say I really like Phenix rods.

138. Re: Strange question
I am using microwave guides and i compared them to the rod if i file off the arrow shape and a little more they will be small enough. I will have to do this to at least the first 4 guides.

Thaks guys I I think I will have to settle for 1 color. Its what he wants soam going to do a diamond.
Forum: rodboard 11 years ago
Paul Luechtefeld
That's my problem he wants 1 color that is purple and now he wants me to take out the black because it makes the pattern too dark and won't match his boat . I told him it's no longer a scale if I don't do the black it is just a diamond.
