Hello All Thanks for the info guy's. Everyone in this place is great. Doc, yes Doc I understand that but I was asking(rather poorly) about size of weave compared to dia of rod for the symmetry, your weaves always seem to be the right length to dia of rod. Bill, sounds good. Thanks again to every on the site, it's a group effort and thats whats so great about the people on this site. Th

Hello Doc I do all my charts by hand on graph paper, as I have no computer at home. One of these day's I'll break down and get a home computer but have not as yet. May I ask you this "How long are your Blue Marlins on say a 1.18in(30.2mm) dia. rod as compared to one done on a 1in(25.4mm) or a .873in(22.8mm) dia. rod?" Thanks Doc!

Hello Casey When I first started Building I bought a lot of these from Jann's. They are a little thick and you need to trim wrap them (you can not use them without a trim wrap) at the butt end first then stretch it out to the length you want it, then trim wrap. You need your first coat of epoxy to be the light type (nice and thin) to get the air out. Once you get the air out a good thick co

Hello Gary. I would just sand it smooth then re-wrap over it and then epoxy it. If the epoxy on it now is reel thick, sand it down quite a bit re-wrap and epoxy it. Heck sand it smooth then put a tiger wrap over it. Whatever you want.

Hello Tom. I have a few questions about the 13 EXPO? 1. Where is the RodMaker Reception going to be? 2. Will there be a display case set-up like High Point? 3. You speak of a casting area, is it indoors, and is it long enough for a casting contest? 4. If it is indoors can we have a casting contest there on Friday?(no wind or rain to hinder us). 5. If we can not have a casting contest in t

Hello R.P. I have both wonder weavers and one like Doc's. In my opion they all work but if you are going to do anything complicated, or all the way around the blank the WW is the better choice. If you are just putting a name on the blank the Doc's will work fine with less setup time. Hopefully Jim & or Doc will chime in on this one and be able to explain it better. A lot is pre
