Hi everyone thanks for all the info but it doesn't answer the original question if a rod has 2 spines that seem to be 180° apart should I build on one of them or 90° off.
Forum: rodboard

With this blank I think since I can't find a dominant spine I will just build it straight.
Forum: rodboard

So do i sight down the and build on whichever axis is straighter?
Forum: rodboard

I agree with Tom I had never heard of spine before.
Forum: rodboard

Thanks guys this rod will e used only for fishing in trout parks for stockers, so i guess i will build it on the straightest plane.
Forum: rodboard

Thank you Tom, I am new and the video I have says to build on the spine. As your test said it doesn't matter how do you know which side to put the guides on.I would also like to say this forum has been very helpful.
Forum: rodboard

I thought you were supposed to build on the spine
Forum: rodboard

I ha e a Phenix blank FX761-1 and it seems to have 2 spines 180 apart. Have any of you seen this before and how did you solve this problem.
Forum: rodboard

I didn't know it was hidden you should be able to see it now.
Forum: rodboard

Thanks for the help guys maybe I'll try that pointing the guide toward me thing
Forum: rodboard

Robert that is a cool wrap too but what is the sequence for wrapping
Forum: rodboard

How do you get enough slack in thread to do a forhan locking. wrap If I pull enough thread to wrap to wind around the guide i lose tension on the spool.

Forum: rodboard

Will it work without the underwrap and different colors?
