Happened to me recently...edge peeled up after applying finish. Thanks for the tip!

[@reelbluecustomrods]

You are welcome Tom, and yes, I’ve had them peel up like that before as well. That that stoped a long time ago though when I went to high quality decals.

Thank you for watching and commenting.

I prefer to determine my reel seat placement depending on what length of grip the customer wants and then place my first guide from there, not the other way around, what do you do for different rod lengths?

[@reelbluecustomrods]

I have different guide placement locations for different rod lengths. Thank you for watching and commenting.
