Any ideas on the original size and guide model?

Too true. Mudhole sends out a load of catalogs, so mail order will be a factor.

As with all things there is a short answer and a long answer. The short answer is that the software exists. It can be configured with reorder points, suppliers and all sorts of historical information. The answer starts getting longer when we start talking about the internet, hosted applications and frequency of update. Do we "reserve" product that is being placed in a shopping

Tint the epoxy to match either the reel seat or the blank. This will create a shadow area that should be near invisible.

Try with a different image and see if that uploads. I know you had uploaded some earlier, but try a different image again. (trying to isolate the image as the issue)

Can you build up the blank with cord or cork tape and then use the 5/8 ths? for the cord you would want to glue the cord to the blank with rodbond an then allow that to dry, prior to adding the 5/8ths EVA grip.
