As Billy and John stated, just press together. Had I not seen it I wouldn't ha\ve believed it. I watched Billy make a grip at one of the NERB gatherings in January. He took the triangle shaped pieces and made the grip. It was pretty cool. This is the result.

I picked up a Breakaway Omega 10' 6", 2pc that is a great blank. Great for plugging. I bought it for travel, I wish it were a 1 pc for home use, LOL.

Silvia, probably a stupid question, but are the pigments formulated specifically for Diamond II, or can they be used with any finish? I haven't had the opportunity to experiment with the D II I purchased at the show, but wanted to play around with marbeling. Thanks Tony

Walt, I have been using an inexpensive digital timer from Home depot or walmart. I unplug it when I don't need it, so when I plug it back in it's 12am if I want the rod to spin for 3 hrs I set the on time for 12:01 am and the off time for 3:01am. it's been working pretty well

Wind knots and braid sort of go together, especially when the line isn't spooled on tight. If you are test casting in a field or a lawn there is really no resistance on the weight and line, like there would normally be in the water, the weight is probably bouncing along the ground as you are reeling it in creating slack on your reel spool. Then when you cast the pile of slack line slips off th

Thanks Joe, I picked up some guides at the show and I must have miscalculated a bit. I got some: B-TCVS3TU which were a blue guide ( I mistakenly thought the preceding B labeled it as blue and some TCVS3TL which were sort of gunsmoke with black rings.

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between guides? I assume that the letters in the guide name refer to something, But I am having difficulty figuring out what that is, LOL. For example, Fuji uses a for alconite and L for Hardaloy. What is the difference between Batson TCVS3TUG and TCVS3TLG? The reason I ask is I bought some guides at the show and apparently I didn't mark them well e
