Does the static guide placement work pretty good for micro setups?

Go to Bingham on the left they have them and they are on sale for $80.
Forum: rodboard

Do you want to sell them? If so, how much do you want with shipping to 54479? I tried sending you an email but you have your address hidden.

Im going to buy some sulky holoshimmer thread for butt wraps. I'm just wonder if you guys use cp on that or not?

So far i have had very good luck with st. croix blanks. So i would like to stay with them. This is the only problem i have had with st. croix's lineup.
Forum: rodboard

Awhile back someone asked where to get a st. croix scb24m ice blank and no one really said anything. Now Im looking for one and cant find any. Anyone know where to get one? Thanks
Forum: rodboard

A little off topic but can you take syringes used in flex coat and reuse them in another brand like pac bay?
Forum: rodboard

What about molding clear silicone for a handle, just an idea never tried it. Not sure how clear it will be either.
Forum: rodboard

has anyone had any success removing guides off of st. croix legend elites or tournaments, without removing the brown or blue finish?
Forum: rodboard

What do you guys think of building an ice rod from a section of broken off fly rod tip?
Forum: rodboard

What are all you guys using for coating your wood handles?

I purchased Custom Rod Thread Art by Dale Clemens a couple weeks ago. I just wanted to say that this is an excellent book for anyone wanting to do cross wraps. Its good for beginners and with 107 patterns i would say even an experienced rod builder would benifit from it. It also has a section for weaving but i haven't got that far yet. So all in all, I just wanted to say this is a great book

Yeah i was looking at the polyester thread. You can get Coats for about 1.00 a spool on the biggest @#$%& site, so thats a lot cheaper that madeira. Thanks for the info, i think I'm going to buy some.

Has anyone used coats embroidery thread?

What place has the best price on madeira thread?

I see some of you guys scribe lines in the finish on rods for layouts. I'm just wondering if they disappear when you apply finish? I was thinking about trying this method but haven't had the guts to scratch up the finish on a blank.

I was also wondering how you guys were doing the micro guide setups. Any info on spinning and casting would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason
Forum: rodboard

Sometimes its easier if i flip the rod over so the guides are on the bottom, the see if they are all even on both sides of the blank.
Forum: rodboard

Before the legend elites were brown they were dark green. So it should be an excellent blank. Its st. croix's top of the line, its just a little bit older.

I just installed my first eva grip. The problem is the eva is about an 1/8 in. bigger than the reel seat. So im wondering what is the best way to get it down to the size of the seat? I was thinking about sanding it but i think that is going to take a long time.
Forum: rodboard

now when you guys install them, do you buy them a size small and then ream them to fit?
Forum: rodboard

I was just wondering how you guys were installing the acs reel seat and if rodbond works good or if a liquid glue would be better on the acs?
Forum: rodboard

no, im talking about full custom made handle, they are in the grip section of their website.
Forum: rodboard

Has anyone used the wood handles available at Mudhole. If so what were your experiences with them and how are they for durability?
Forum: rodboard

I was thinking about building a musky rod with the Loomis obsidian blanks. I've never had the graphite blank with the fiberglass tip, what do you guys think of them?
Forum: rodboard

I once removed some reel seats off of st. croix rods. Their glue wouldn't melt in boiling water, but they use the flexcoat type arbors and that fell apart. So if you used them it will come apart, but takes a lot of force.
Forum: rodboard

thanks guys! I put it in a small room with a space heater and got it up to 90 degrees. So Im going to give it a try tomorrow. Thanks again, everyone is so helpful on here.
Forum: rodboard

I know this has been on here before but i cant find it. I just coated a rod and would like to use it saturday. Thats about 2 and a half days. Do you guys think thats long enough? By the way its flex coat lite finish. Thanks
