Add up all your supplies bought in a entire year and then look up the number of rods you built in that year and divide by that number for the average cost per rod for supplies ..

The Loomis blanks were still coming with a minor warranty which was a lower end Loomis rod if it broke from defect. There is something going around now saying that as of this month all warranties on Loomis blanks of any kind are DISCONTINUED. So if something goes wrong even if the blank has a defect you get nothing at all. Could be a good time to get a reduced price on a Loomis if you friend want

No one will say what a micro guide size is so no one can really know. But there was a post here before that said that anything size six or smaller qualified as a micro.

I thought THIS was the other coast? I know this is both a east coast and west coast board. The gulf to I guess. I just build whatever the customer asks for. Seems to work for me.

Tom why did you only use a size 10? The castaway guide looks like it uses a smaller guide for the second one?
Forum: rodboard

You can make your own reamers from old scrap rod pieces that have less taper. I wish the companies that make these would not put so much taper on them because it makes them harder to use and not get to much reaming on one end.

OK.......what is it doing? There is nothing different in the picture from a regular spinning rod on a cast?
