i thought about the day my line got caught and snapped the boat was drifting to the stern and my line was heading to the bow i had well over 1000 feet of line out and the line was not centered on the roller. I just checked the clearance on the side of roller to frame with a set of feeler gauges and it was (.010 ) need to check the braid diameter ?

i used gorilla glue for reel seats and grips on party boat rental rods about 5 years ago these rods are used and abused and have not had one come back with reel seat or grip coming loose. .I tried it because there was no mixing use right out of the bottle

Forum: rodboard

You can also take something like a fork or a nail and work it in to the tube on the tip to open it up a little i have done that

David it sounds like you are trying to find a faster way to install tips i have installed a tip from st croix with the stuff they sent. I replace 100+ tips a year on party boat rods that i repair. I take the hot glue stick and put it in a glue gun .take a aluminum pie plate and run out long strips of the glue in different sizes. I then have them to cut into a piece to put inside the tip to heat
Forum: rodboard

I take a emery board and sand it lightly after heat and scraping so there is a smooth surface for the thread to lay on.
Forum: rodboard

do these rods have aluminum butt on them because a trolling butt screws in at the top and you can get extra ferrules to use other blank section with them.

Do you need to do anything to the ends of cork tape and what are some of the things .I have seen rod with rubber pieces covering the ends. thanks for all help in advance DAVID PARSONS
Forum: rodboard

David it depend on you do you like a short butt or a long butt I myself like a long butt I'm 6 foot 3 tall and like 7 foot or longer rods . MY one friend is a party boat captain and he likes short butts and 6 foot 6 rods but is a lot shorter the me.

I did a lot of rods a few years ago with gorilla glue did not have any problem with it holding reel seat or eva didn't try it on cork. Yes when it expands it will come out of every little hole .
