They all look good! Keep up the excellent work. There are a few rod builders on here and a handful of us that fish custom rods.

Good stuff! Inspires me to try rod building myself! If you can, snap some pictures with fish.

Would you please provide details on your spiral wrap method of guide placement?

Where is your stripper guide? I can not tell from the image in relation to the reel.

How much of the rod blank do you use for the 180 degree wrap?

Where do you start your 180's on the underside?

Which side of the rod do you spiral around and why?

Why is there a concerted effort of hate? And why is it allowed?
