What are your thoughts on printing a little oversize and using tape to center and get taper so that there in no gap. Like we do with Abalone.

I normally do, but I messed up on my measuring that time, but I figured I would leave it in the video so I could get the basic concept out, and it was on a test piece anyway. Just a way to show we all make mistakes every now and then 😁

The U-40 is what I used, but, I'm going to switch to Min-Wax urethane matt finish - or - the semi-gloss. Friends have used it and get very nice results. It DOES make the cork pop, though.

Check out our playlist on the Riley Memorial Rods. This is year 10 for us of the 40 years of this tournament. I have big plans for these this year, stay tuned 🎣

No, they are very reasonable and true quality. I’ve had that bass decal for a long time, I was saving it for some reason. I got it from Decal Connection, not sure they have that particular one but I think they do still have other fish decals, you have to give them a call. The link is in the description.

I can honestly say they are definitely superior. If you google American Tackle MicroWave Guides you’ll find lots of anglers with great experiences with them. You get further casts, more accuracy and less effort in casting. I’ve personally experienced all of these with these guides
