Using golf club for 2 pieces rods

Hi Quang, try dressing the cork, with one coat of thread sealer, to coats could be to much, thanks for posting, cheers Don.

OK, will do that

Finish one golf club rod .This one is heavy and slow action rod , can handle up to 4OZ bait . I use big guides and # 12 tiptop and double tread wrap . the bad part is big guide position right next to the joint make it look ugly but function good , try many different set up but can not get the big guide away from the joint

Feels like a LOT of guides for a spin guide-train. And the second guide looks very tall?

[quang tran]

You're right ,I was try to locate the guides to avoid at the joint between 2 pieces . Also the guides was too heavy ,I already removed all guides ,sand the blank and repaint it ,had to stop working on these for a while as my lady wants to built a patio in back yard for the grandkids to play ,spent 2 weeks to finish the patio then we have to go to Corpus Christi to watch 3 grandkids while their parent have to go to Japan

Keep them coming buddy, looks really interesting, I vissit a waste disposal sight every so often, always heaps of clubs plus buggies, I will have to ask what money he is asking, cheers Don.

I will Don ,when I come back to Houston I will have to build a patio for my friend then pull out 1 Honda lawnmower get it ready for another friend but I will get more serious about rod building as I just pull out from storage a bunch of rod blanks , lots of cork ,fuji handles and rod building material and get from my son in law a fancy rod wrap station also bought 10 more golf clubs .Picture of my son in law 32" trout

Just get back from Corpus Christi after 3 weeks take care of 3 grandkids so my daughter and son in law vacation in Japan . Took home lots of rod building stuff that enough for me in years

[Donnyboat]

Gee look out fish, when he makes all of them, that will keep you of the streets for a whyle man, cheers Don.
