Got a repair coming in soon on a St. Croix MIS76HF rod. The guides are Batson 316. Anyone know what thread color will match the factory?

Are Loomis NRX blanks available? If not...what is an equivalent?

I've also found that wrapping the decal around a dowel rod or a sharpie pen (or something round) for a week or so prior to application will "train" the decal that it is going to go on a circular surface. Put a few rubber bands around it to hold it in place. Seems to help some....but not always.

Hmmm....Have you tried Cortland? Not sure they make the reels they have their name on...but its worth a try. I did a quick search online and came up empty for any cortland reel parts

Make sure you don't exceed six inches from middle of reel seat to butt if pursuing IGFA records. Also...here is a good article on the subject.

What about a trigger clamp for a deckhand style rod? There is currently one on the market that is sized at 29mm

I've used those coffee warmer plates before, but I also put my epoxy in front of a space heater prior to mixing.....works great.

I think they also offer them with a different size diameter hole other than 11/16th. I could be mistaken

I like to fish and be involved with anything fishing. I like to tinker, and I like to build things. Unfortunately, I'm sorta landlocked, and needed to stay attached to my passion. Rod building and reel repair seemed like a natural fit.

Care to explain a poor casting technique? Aren't Fuji KWAG supposed to shed wind knots?
Forum: rodboard

Ok...so I've built a few rods here and there and have never had a "complaint" about wind knots. Sent two identical rods to a customer....and he LOVES them....but says that he is getting wind knots. Changing reels from a Penn Conquer 4000 to a 6000 and he still gets them. He is using Suffix 832 in 20lb test. Blank = 7'6" L904 2 piece rated for 10-20lb test and 3/8oz - 1 5/8
Forum: rodboard

make sure the rod is level. If it isn't, the rod will try to unscrew fom the chuck and take the rubber ends with it. When this happens on mine,I stop and re-level everything and it usually fixes itself.
Forum: rodboard

Bill the ones Mudhole (as far as I can see) are straight with a tapered end where the butt wrap/winding check would go. I'm looking for the ones that start big at the reel seat, then gradually taper narrower towards the butt wrap or winding check.

Anyone know where to get Tapered Trianguler Forgrips? I know where to get all straight ones, but customer is looking for the tapered ones. Thanks
