Next build - ODM Genesis 10' 1-4oz
I finished the test casting today. Going to be built with kw torzite 30-25-20-12-8x4-8 tip. Shrink grip with no seat.
One minor issue to potentially deal with for the guide spacing, the current layout puts a guide right under my roof rack. So either the rod travels inside or I need to adjust the spacing.

Nice rod. I know a few guys that use them and they're very happy with them.

Did you correct the spacing? The 2 pictures of the guide weights, what the difference? Extra guide? Are the frames ti or ss ? Wraps look sweet. Inlay on the silver band thread?

Thanks. I left the spacing as it was - that's what worked. The rod doesn't have a reelseat so I can move the reel a little if I want to try and make it work for the roof rack.
The guides are torzite, weight difference is the before/after of the guide foot prep.

Green painters tape around the chuck and the blank. The jaws of the chuck have a tendency to open up. |

Ditto, I been using heavy rubber bands. For HD chuck, it sucks for holding rod. Most of the time I use the wrapper to apply the epoxy then transfer to dedicated slow spiiner. |

I have a dryer as well but generally too lazy to move it over.
Tape makes everything better. |
