Dons tackle is a sponsor on the left side of your screen. He sells makoi thread and is located in Hawaii. I belive you can order from his website. If out of stock it will usually say so when you add to cart.

Roger, If your setup doesn't have a 1/4" shaft, would the shaft on the slip clutch lock into a 3 jaw chuck? Thanks, Bob

I choose to. It helps with adhesion and for what little time it takes I'll take the extra insurance.

I am a hobby builder for around 3 years now. I paint cars flat rate for a living and enjoy the change of pace when building rods for friends and family. Labor is always $.00. I enjoy building rods to donate for special organizations.
