Well I hurt my a back a couple of weeks ago & since I haven't been able to do a great deal outdoors thought I'd buildup a few new rods to keep myself occupied.
There's one drying on the rotisserie as I speak & it's a identical match to the one in pics below only difference is that one is a 6 kg & one below is a 4 kg stick both are to suit overhead reels. There's also another 5 or 5 new rods I'm playing around with only glued on the corks , hyperlons & winch's on them so far haven't worked out guide spacing's etc as yet will post pics later ron as they progress.

Very purdy. I just attach my guides with waterproof bandaids. If I had a rotisserie like yours, then I could do better

QUOTE (jasonb @ Feb 17 2008, 04:06 PM) they look good mate ,,makes me want to redo all mine ,hahaahha It's more a hobby than anything. But I really have to be in the mood else I lose my way the actual guide binding is quite easy & not very time consuming. It's the patterns just after the foregrip that are velly time consuming. Yep Yep those stickers are great aren't they, think they give the rod that wittle bit extra once upon a time I could weave those fish patterns with the cotton but I dont have the patience nor eyesight I used to so the stickers surfice. -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

I am still thinking of what was said about you having so many blanks. This is one massive hobby.

QUOTE (Jumpus GooDarus @ Feb 14 2008, 08:23 PM) The hyperlongriped rods weren't for me besides I like cork grips JG, Question relating to the last three rods in the picture. Always wonder why some rods do not have grips all the way from the reel seat to the butt. Is it to save on cork? What type of rods do they call them or what type of fishing are they used for?

QUOTE What type of rods do they call them or what type of fishing are they used for? Fishing Rods & you use them to catch fishy's It's more a personal thingy It'l Do. I like to have the butt of a rod under my armpit so like a longer butt on the rod, you also want to keep the rod or any rod as light as posible so why use cork/hyperlon all the way. Cork dose get expensive, but these types of rods have been around for 30 years & I laugh these days when I read someone posting they just got the latest design rod like the ones you're asking about. In the process of building up 1/2 doz 3 kg bait sticks, these are the 7' 6" wrap 2 blanks cant buy them ready built but prob my favourite blank for light line fishing for brims /snappa's. Here's a couple nearly finished.  Split pics of butt & foregrip binds
