Jim, As a long time Fuji user I appreciate all the changes of upgrades and information available to we builders but, before Fuji discontinues a guide style they should reintroduce it to the newer builders and remind the rest of us of its potential for use.

Dave, I just completed a Lamaglas, 9ft. Super Surf for myself. I used a 30mm double foot K guide as my first guide and all the rest out to the tip were single foot K L's and they all got locking wraps. So, YES you can do a locking wrap on them.

If your are sure your rods were packed correctly, I would pay the $25 shipping for the return of both rods.Then inform him that his rods are ready for pick up when repaired.Let him send a messenger for transport and assume the responsabilty for damages in transit. Let "Cash on the barrelhead" be you mission statment for future transactions.

Don/Maryann, I got ya, It's no longer a fishin rod. It's just for distance casting. A catapult !
Forum: rodboard

Don, Sorry but, I have to ask. What do you mean when you ask, Is the reel going to be mounted high or low? Are you asking if the reel is a high or low framed reel? or Where on the butt the reel is going be mounted?
