Tom, I know that there is an index of the articles in RM from Vol 1 thru Vol 7. Is there an index that gets us to the the most recent volumes? I see that you can get a listing per issue on the RM site, wasn't sure if there was a master index available. Thanks Tony

Is there any reason why I couldn't use Pro Paste to glue brass or aluminum inserts into carbon arrows. I normally use devcon epoxy. Thanks Tony

Does anyone know what guides that St Croix used on their Triumph line. I need to replace a guide and top for a friend and there are no markings on the guide that I could see. The St Croix website states that they use "Hard aluminum-oxide guides with black frames." Just trying to match it up. if not I'll replace it with something appropriate. Thanks Tony

I like mine a little longer. I surf fish a lot and the butt of the rod ends up between your legs, usually 10-11' rods. On my lighter inshore rods, 7' I make the butt long enough to reach my legs 13-14", my hands are a little lower, but it still allows me to anchor the rod with the butt and apply pressure with my bask as opposed to my arms. Plus I find if you are casting with 2 hands I get

Just checked, the main page looks screwy but the forums seem to be working. Didn't see anything about XP, but I thought that's what it ran on originally. Here's a link to the forum

I have had Visual Wrap on Vista and 7. I think it was made for XP. Check out the forum on the Visual Wrap site, they have a section to help with installation. There was some minor tweaking to get it to work on Vista and 7.

If you are talking the slot in the front that the thread carriage slides along it is .755" I believe I have the Amtak wrapper, which I was told was the same wrapper, I could be mistaken

As a side note, I keep my reels in my carry-on bag. I get some funny looks, but I'm not taking the chance of losing a reel.

Just returned from Panama with a rod tube, about 6'. No extra charge, it would have been the standard fee, but the airline doesn't charge for luggage, (2 per person). I wrap my rods in a fleece blanket in the rod tube. Go to a craft store and but 3 yards of a fleece fabric and get a full wrap around each rod, I alternate the dorection of the rods so I have at least on rod butt on each end. Fo
