hi guys :)
made my first rod yesterday :) , was given a sample travel blank(crooked as a judge) and so decided id try and cut it down reposition the eyes and im away. ::)
expected this to be a real problem but went smooth as , spent last night staring at my "new" rod :P
well it lasted three casts this arvo >:(, obvioiusly not up to a 2 oz wieght then ;D ::)
apon examination the blank was buggered so gonna try again with stronger and new blank, (gunna cost me this time) before i do wondered if anyone knows ideal measurements/system for eye placements on 7ft spin(fixedspool) blank?
