Fish and Billy …Thanks !!!

Those guides are for a Lami GLB 841M 12-25lb blank with a Calcutta 400 maybe 15-17lb mono …. I believe the factory rods from Lami uses the Alconites (well from what I saw poking around the Lami website). I like the alconite rings …these rods are for myself… so I figured I would try something different than the hardloy’s. But reading through catalogs is always fun trying to figure out what you need or what is what. I also like the flashier finish of the frame (black chrome). BMNAG , I think, will work fine

Billy thanks for that link ….I’ll have to look that over some more
I’m curious about the Aftcote now …Just how long is the cure time for it??
I don’t know if I should mess with that on rods I’m making for others…. thanks for the info on GC …maybe I’ll look into that …
I was looking at a 50 lb trolling set up I built about 15-17 years ago …. And its held up well with the Flex Coat …but there is some yellowing starting to show

That holo thread ….Right now I’m just thinking to add a little flash to butt wraps and such … maybe even that braided stuff that’s 1/8” wide …. I’ve seen a blank with the holo as an underwrap …and I’m not sure if I want that much hologram

EDIT: Well ...you cant see the yellowing in the picture ...maybe I can get one closer
