The Ti-Forged guides are available in Titanium, Black Titanium, Black 316 Stainless and Polished 316 Stainless. Give them a try, I am sure you will love them.

They ARE NOT the same blanks re-labeled... I cannot speak for the CRB blanks but I can tell you the ATX VJ blanks are among the best on the market. They are widely used all over the world by custom builders and rod manufacturers alike. Give them a try, you will like them.

Take a close look at the American Tackle ATX VJ line.... the AXVJ6060-325 is almost a dead ringer for that rod. I just built a set for a boat, cut to 5-8 .... they LOVE them more than the shimanos

Thank you Paul, Even on fly rods there is a reduction needed. Larger stripping guides are often used progressively smaller to running guides etc. Even if you use a single running guide size most likely you would use different size stripping guides with the larger one coming first then progressing smaller as a reduction. Just like spinning and casting rods the line needs to be captured from

Yes you can apply finish directly to the Rod Wrapz.... I personally do not use CP on the decals, I do not know why you would need to.

Try the MicroWave casting guides for the spiral wrap... the higher ring locations make it much easier to set up.
