I believe my original post says switch/spey rods does it not ? Anyway I found one that suits me , thanks for all your input guys .
Forum: rodboard

Pretty sure that would void Mudholes warranty . I did think about that but wouldn't it mess with the action of the blank ? TIA Ron .
Forum: rodboard

Thanks Ron but no 10' 4wt s on there . Mudhole has an 11' 4wt but I'm really stuck on the numbers 10 and 4 ..

Herb , I can not afford a CTS . Thx tho .
Forum: rodboard

Why is it so hard to find a 10' 4wt switch/spey rod and or blanks ? I see some rods from China on the @#$%& site but they are all out of the 10' models . I see every other length but my mind is made up and I want a 10 footer , I don't know why . Any ideas ? As always , TIA . Ron
Forum: rodboard

Thx guys , I'm just putting black single foots on it . Ron

Roger , I looked but didn't see anything I wanted to use . Those were for casting / spinning rods and had the frame . Schneider may have it but that website is really hard to understand . I need pics , I'm just a farm boy !
Forum: rodboard

Thanks but those are for spinning & casting rods . I'll use something else altho I think it's crappy of them to offer the guides and no tops to match .
Forum: rodboard

I've never seen a fly rod with a high brace bracket like those tip tops . Not sure I care for them .

Forum: rodboard

Any advice on what tip top to use with Pac Bay Minima running guides in Black/TiGold ? Seems they forgot to make something to match . As always , TIA . Ron
Forum: rodboard

Well I contacted the seller and he offered to refund for both kits . I declined as I can build one using sections from the two . One refund I think is fair . As always , thanks for your inputs . Ron
Forum: rodboard

I just received two rod blanks that concern me a little .These are 3 piece IM 6 2wts . Granted they are not Sage or Winston but still have been good blanks for me . The first one has a tip with a bend in it . I can see it when sighting down the blank . The second one has two bends in it . They are not as pronounced as the tip on the first one . My question is , should I spine these blanks an
Forum: rodboard

Thanks guys , I found a deal on you tube that attaches to my wrapper . It looks pretty cool , I'm going to give it a shot . Another problem I have is I just got two blanks in and the tops are crooked . I was thinking instead of finding the spine I'll just wrap the top of the bend ? What you guys think ? TIA. Ron
Forum: rodboard

Any tips on wrapping tops ? These wimpy little ends on O wts thru 3 wts are testing me . I would appreciate a tip on a way to stabilize them . Right now I put a welding rod through the ring and attach to wrapper , works but not really well . TIA Ron
Forum: rodboard

I was curious what made them so much more expensive . Thanks again guys . Ron
Forum: rodboard

What is tigrey ? Is it a color or metal used in guides ? TIA Ron
Forum: rodboard

I would love to have a CTS . They are beautiful rods but just not even close to being in my price range .
Forum: rodboard

Anyone have any dealings with these guys or experience with the 10' 4wt switch rod blanks ?
Forum: rodboard

Just another weird thought I had today . Has anyone ever tried wrapping with clear mono instead of thread for a clear wrap ? Seems to me it might work .
Forum: rodboard

Thanks for the replies . I store them on a rod rack so that I can admire them . I do that much more than I fish , living in Hellazonia and all .
Forum: rodboard

I have a horizontal rod rack . That's the way I store them . My only question is do I store them spine up or down ?
Forum: rodboard

I'm curious as to which orientation is correct for storing fly rods horizontally . Store with the eyes up or down ? With the spine or against . I know this is a silly question but when looing at my rods the end sections bend down and I wouldn't want them to take a set . I had one do that but it was leaning against a wall in the good old Arizona @#$%& heat .
