Gregg: I was thinking of that myself. Got a home depot near me. Wanted to see if I could find some thing light weight?? Was also looking at the Fighting Butt threaded units? They look a little short?? I have also seem in home depot Nylon Bolts. Don't know if I could get a threaded tube with it? Got to spend some time and look around Might be better with a good hardware store.

Thanks Mike. I found the Cabella's . They all seem to be the same I got two of the bass pro's and will be tearing one apart to see what the bolt looks like. Got an idea of matching the but end for my rods with a colored end ring and use the balance weights.

It will penitrate better when thin IMHO But do not go to thin or you will have to put on many coats to get good coverage. Try it the way it is said on the bottle. You don't want to put just alcohole on??

St Croix's site will give you a spacing of a similar blank or rod and many suppliers have them. BUT this is only a Starting Point. Check out the Libray Page for The Concept Guide Placement articals. These will tell you how to place your guides
