Sorry without having the blank on possession for ordering parts.

Does anyone know of a formula for rod components sizing? Say if butt diameter is .508 and I want to add winding checks 2,5 and 10 inches up the blank.

I'm considering a lamiglas xp blank.

Is Mudhole discontinuing the Hm blanks? I see them on sale with not many models to choose from left. Does anyone here still build on their regular blanks also?

Ok, I never went catfish in my life. But a friend of mine wants a rod for his brother to go cat fishing in Texas. He wants it built on a spinning platform. Can someone recommend a blank for me?
Forum: rodboard

Thanks John. ...that's what I was wondering.

Could anyone share input on the XP line of Lamiglass rod blanks? I'm looking to build a jig rod . It was between that our the M1 Phenix line.
Forum: rodboard

Has anyone used these grips for a build? Looking at weight comparison to eva. Any positives or negative would be appreciated. I would specifically using these on a bass rod. Thanks
Forum: rodboard

Sorry guys I was specifically seeing if anyone had experience with Phenix Recon blanks or Lamiglass .
Forum: rodboard

I'm looking to build for myself a 6 power flipping stick. I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight on the Phenix Recon blanks and also the Lamiglass Xp Series? I'm trying to stay in the 7'6 range do to rod locker storage. Thanks

I'm actually looking top do minimal or no grips at all.
Forum: rodboard

Tom do you recommend a size 18?
Forum: rodboard

Just curious on opinions on the pipe style reel seats as for comfort reasons. I'm looking to do a minimalist look and weight also. Thanks in advance.

I built a 6'9 ml mag bass that I use for shaky head and wacky worm. I love it. I put it between the Rx8 and Revelation made by Rainshadow .

I love my liberty blanks.

On lighter freshwater bass rods, I was wondering how many people put a decorative butt wrap. I always try to keep mine as light as possible and only did one on a moving bait rod (crankbait). I know a rod it's at it's most sensitive state when it's a bare blank. I was just wondering when putting say a 6_8"inch wrap how much am I taking away from sensitivity?
Forum: rodboard

I have a Rainshadow 7' Rx7 crankbait blank that I am considering doing a spiral wrap. I've done a bunch of spiral wraps but it's usually on tip up presentation type rods. It's there any advantage to spiral wrap a crankbait rod?

I ordered mine today Kevin. Looking forward to building it. I ordered the MB692xf.

I'm starting to guess with the roll out of new product in the summer perhaps a new website will be done. This is purely a guess.

I'm sure after Icast. Looks like the fall is going to get expensive.

I have built six Revelation rods in the last 6 months they are pretty much in the middle of Rx8 and 7. Basically I was told its like a Rx7 trimmed off all the fat. Personally I like them.

I'm actually looking at the 802.75 for that reason in the Rx8. More in the tail end. I have a 822.5 in the Rev that I built and frankly is a better DS rod than a shaky or wack
Forum: rodboard

Thanks Kevin. I'll call you next week.
Forum: rodboard

Im looking into a couple different blank options for my jext shaky head rod build and was hoping to get some opinions. I was looking at annRainshadow Rx8 822.75 or something in Phenix or Lamiglass. All within the 3 power range. This rod will have either Tidal Wave Guides or Alps titanium spinning guides. Thanks in advance
Forum: rodboard

Has anyone built anything using both blanks? I've only used the Rev blanks. Don't know if I'm missing out on the Rx7. And I also have used rxi
Forum: rodboard

Yesterday I finished a rod with underwraps. I used a lite build (TM_lite) to soak into the thread of my Ncp under and over wraps. My question is should I continue with using lite build with my additional coats or should I step up to a high build? I also do a blend of even parts of Tm-lite and reg that gives a viscosity of Prokote. This rod is a saltwater medium.
Forum: rodboard

Being new to the craft can someone explain to me the measurement on what they mean and how you obtain them?
Forum: rodboard

I have good size hands and I used the Alps split seat in both spinning and casting and find them comfortable. I don't like the fuji sk reel seats though. I find that void is uncomfortable in the spinning version.
