I'm wanting to paint under my guide wraps white so that the white ncp thread will remain bright. Will this have an effect on the finish adhearing to the blank? I don't wanna be fishing and the guides start popping. I thought about just using a white primer. I think the name of it Kilz or something like that.

To answer Hank's question I was referring to line touching the blank when under a load. I was just wanting some opinions on the matter when I go to our fishing club meeting trying to explain why a spiral wrap rod is better. I know they are better and I want to convey that to a group of folks who have not seen a spiral wrap or think that because of it's weird looks it must it's not any better.
Forum: rodboard

I know it's not a good thing but what exactly are the down falls of the line touching the blank? Thanks, Steve

Ah Ha Ha! Comin' out with the ole Alabama jokes huh Billy?! I know what an Acid roller is......it's one of those hippy freaks that found extacy!...LOL

I will change that. I didn't know it was hidden. Thanks, Steve
Forum: rodboard

I agree with ya Hank. Myself, I know that a spiral wrapped rod is WAY better. I just don't know how to convey that to a group of people who have no idea about it. I don't see any greater distance in my rods but I don't see any loss either. I build mostly inshore rods for Speckled Trout and Red Fish.

I'm building a rod for our fishing club to be raffled off. Most of these guys have never seen a spiral wrapped rod and the ones who have seen one look it as weird. I would like to hear the benefits of a spiral wrapped rod so that when I present it I can make a presentaion on the benefits compared to a conventional rod. I'm no speech writer so any info and help is much appreciated.

Can someone enlighten me on what parabolic action or a parabolic blank is? And please forgive me for being ignorant to this terminology.......I know some folks are shaken their head at me while reading this question.

Now Billy........How could anyone forget your sarcasm? ;)

Billy.....I was trying but it turned into a big hassle trying to get it from Taiwan. They sent me some samples of some really hard eva but they would only take a wire transfer of funds. I didn't want to do that. I'm still looking for another source.

John, I made a black grip with pink polka dots and used aluminum tubing. Cut two 6 inch pieces. One piece I sharpened from the inside and the other piece I sharpened from the outside. Made for a good tight fit and every hole was perfect. Steve

Billy....I was looking at the United series UR702 because it was 6-17 lb test with a 4.5 tip. The G-USA B70M has 5.5 tip. I wanted the smaller tip but still the fast action.
Forum: rodboard

What is the difference in the G-USA DHX Graphite Cast/Spin and the United Series (DHX) Casting blanks? Is the United series as good as the G-USA series? Thanks, Steve

I'm wanting to match a blank to a Shimano Curado 200 BSF reel. I'm using 8lb test. What I would be using this blank for is Speckled Trout tossing 1/4-1/2 jig heads with Fin-S or Cocaho grubs. I have the reel mounted on a G-USA B70M now and it just doesn't feel right. I'm thinking a lighter/smaller tip and mod-fast or moderate action blank would be a better. Just wondering if someone who might hav
