The "null" is the value stored in the database...ie nothing. If it were a space it would look blank. So nothing was ever entered. ....its a database thing and has a purpose...just not really in this case.

OK...part 2. You may need to do a little more digging.... When I log in....the images DO NOT show. If I log out....they show.

Actually might turn into the time to start building your own custom rods. What would normally retail for $300+ can be made for under $100...IMO

You already mentioned gasket material...that comes in black paper and also rubber. You can also use thin plastic material, EVA. I will usually just go with the black paper...once its epoxied it goes a little darker.

I think that "caster's skill" is potentially the most important aspect of casting characteristics.

Kevin...was wondering if you could expand on "Reinforced 3K Matrix Twill" and exactly what that is / means. Thanks in advance.

I will pretty much do it like Kent does... But somewhere along the line I came across a small rat tail file that I use on the barrel.

Typically, when I add PG to a rod....I will remove an existing coat first. And on occasion the end result is actually lighter.

I have this unusual story to tell... One day I was wading the South Harpeth river with a friend of mine. Every once in awhile he would make a cast and his line would snap and his lure would go flying. Well this went on for about an hour. He was blaming it on having some bad line. We took off the line and I spooled on half the line I had on my spool. His very next cast....the line breaks an
