I hyro all ,seal,hydro,cut darter, re-seal ... and all work perfect ,, no roll outs .. I have had some split as many others builders I fished .. Usually starts at the wire tie back .. Very frustrating .. I think Cranking the arse wire so tight you pull the nose loop in like a wedge . I think some split on impact of hitting the water on the cast . or maybe a combination of both . I stopped building them and in my Forest Gump way ,thought about it for a year . I dropped the hard maple and tried birch .. so far so good ,. hard maple is so damm brittle .
