Hi how do you remove a standard fighting butt and replace with a longer butt ?
@edhughes1891 4 ай бұрын
Question-is there a minimum distance between the end of the guide to the end of the section? I place a guide, did the farthest wrap and realized I’ve got 1/4” from the end of the guide to the end of the section. Is that too close? Thanks, and I know where I’m shopping now. Got my first kit for a build class with a club, but I’m going to do more! Your site is awesome. 🤩

Wont reply??? Heat gun does not soften glue under old wood reel seat because it protects the glue from heat thus the glue sticks to the graphite blank and will not come off even after 15 minutes of heat...I did this, then I torqued it and it broke the graphite blank under it!!!! Also, tried cutting it with a dremel but this also does not loosen glue underneath...be careful if you use a screwdriver as a pry tool it will crack the brittle graphite underneath!!!

I've tried the water method with NO luck. The reel seat is plastic, so I'm scared to melt it with the heat gun. The reel seat has a cork piece fixed in it on this fly rod. I need to replace the cork handle above that reel seat. Should I keep trying to "boil" it? I'm tempted to split the new cork blank and fit and glue it to the rod.
@matthewdraft4575 Жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for your comment. Sometimes those plastic seats need to be cut off. I've had to do that on a few rods over the years. What you want to do is make the cut parallel to the blank. cut a shallow cut and deepen it until you are through the seat. Then you can generally pry the seat of the blank.

@@matthewdraft4575 Hi, thank you for reaching out to me. This rod is my son-in-law's (from his grandfather), so I didn't want to destroy and remake anything. The only thing that was wrong, was the cork handle. Is it possible to cut the blank lengthwise and attach it to the rod?

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

Does the super glue have any effect on the epoxy?
@oak8728 11 ай бұрын
No, as long as it is dry before applying epoxy, which is basically a guarantee given the time between wrapping and applying epoxy.

Can you use monofilament or other fishing line to wrap rods? I see that most people use some kind of thread, not sure what type, but fishing line is much stronger. Will the epoxy melt or damage the monofilament?
@87_North Жыл бұрын
Fuji Size A thread (ultra poly) is probably the best thread you can use. I wouldn't bother with mono; it's way too stiff. There's no need to use that when you can just use Fuji thread.
@glen4788 Жыл бұрын
@@87_North Thanks. I already used the poly as it was an old rod that I wanted to fix as a backup. It's funny because you cant see the line after putting the epoxy over it. I blends in. It appears as though they "melted" together, but I guess that just appears that way, not sure.

No mention of finding spine and which side of spine the guides go on
@matthewdraft4575 Жыл бұрын
Hi, great question. I do address the spine in another video. For most rods that have more than 2 pieces there is really no good reason to worry too much about the spine. You might be able to find it in the tip, but in the sections below getting a proper bow in the section is just not possible with modern blanks consisting of four or more pieces. when it comes to which side to wrap the guides on I like to assemble the blank and rotate it to find the straightest axis. The guides are then wrapped on that side.

@matthewdraft4575 Жыл бұрын
Hi, good question. They are actually different. Epoxy is a two part mix that hardens by a chemical reaction. Varnish uses a solvent. Both work great for sealing thread.
