Another half dozen exhibitors on board in the past couple of days. Again, these are the companies that have actually purchased exhibit space. Several others have made verbal commitments but will not be listed or assigned space until they have secured booth space. I have carved out a little more room on the floor plan so we can accommodate just a few more. 2023 ICRBE Exhibitors All Around Fi

This is the updated list of exhibitors that have purchased booth space for the 2023 International Custom Rod Building Exposition. There are a few contracts outstanding but as of Monday I will release any booths that have not been purchased to those on the waiting list. Should be a huge show - even larger than last year.

If you put a layer of epoxy down prior to putting Decals on, how long do you need to let it dry before putting the decals on the epoxy? Would it be the same as if you were to put another coat of epoxy on? or do you need to wait longer for the epoxy to dry before putting the decals on and applying another coat of epoxy over them. Thanks Stan

Hello All Im looking into making my own label. What printer are you guys using these days? I was looking at LTR website seeing Epson 400 and 800 size. Would 400 be enough to print label? Also I do see some rods have photo wrap on them. What printer would be good for this application? Thanks Trung

I'm helping a friend build a rod for a charity raffle in which he donated a fishing gift basket and a custom rod of the winners choice. The winner wanted a Dallas Cowboys themed bass rod. I've selected all the components and will start building it this weekend. However I need a Dallas Cowboys logo decal. And Mudhole does not have any and American Tackle as well. I'm sure this has to do with licen

Just got a MB 709 IM from NFC. Very nice straight blank and it did arrive promptly after ordering. I have no experience with this decal, anyone know how they are to be applied? I can usually follow instructions, should I receive any! I only get one shot at it. Lol

Due to sparse and conflicting information acquired from other online sources, l am looking here for past and present history of “Sabre Rods”. I am rebuilding the first saltwater rod that I purchased (mid-late 80s), a 7ft. 12-25lb golden-colored Sabre. The foam (EVA / Hypalon ?) grips are still in great shape and the rod even sports COF wire boat guides lol. But the thread wraps were showing their

Recently purchased a CTS spin blank. Came factory labeled. Not a big fan of labels mainly the application and finishing of them. Anyways I will live with the label since it is already on the blank. Wondering how durable these labels are if I don't finish over them. If it where to wear off evenly over time fine but I don't want it to flake away and look terrible after just a couple uses. Thought
