Mind sharing the spacing layout George used on your rod??  |
I can....or George might...he might have some new info... and I don't know if this helps Skip but I didn't use any thread building the rod, the guides were attached entirely using adhesive backed shrink tube...it was an easy fast build, incredibly durable, I swim with that rod on every trip(around 100) and it handled fish to 42lbs without any problem and I really beat the crap out of it...I checked the guides regularly for issues and cracking of the flex coat as this was experimental and it held up perfectly...I guess I'm just saying that it was a very effective and fast way to build a durable rod without having to learn thread wrapping
