I also use a Penn state turncrafter pro VS, and it has literally been bullet proof, and it gets a lot of use

Yep its for sure that you can't catch a fish if the blank does not have the correct oscillation frequency for that particular species

Excellent way to belittle and degrade one of the sponsors that make the forum happen. Keep up the great work

Sage does not build or recommend building their rods on the spine

If your talking about the bore for the hidden hood, bore it exact or smaller and then use something like a dremel to open it up to the correct fit

He is most likely referring to mortising the insert, not the recess for a hidden hood

10, 3, and your choice of 1/0 or 2/0 the rest of the way out. I would also use lite wire snakes

My experience with the Arctos is that they are a bit faster, and a lot more true to their advertised specs

They don't come with a cap or plug due to the fact that most 7wt and above use a fighting butt, so they include the transition or finish ring for the addition of a fighting butt. You should be able to talk to them and get an appropriate plug as the RA7 uses the same size barrel
