do you have a pic of the rod that was acid wrapped with eliminators? that shop isnt close to me or id go check it out my self.
The size of the rod dose not matter. The point is that the rod mentioned was a heavier rod and was built with rollers. You don't have to believe me ill show you the pic within the next few days. Just so you know I'm know beginner and i do not wish to insult you or get your approval, but AS A BUILDER i have worked with over 1000 rods PROFESSIONALLY and another 100 or so as a hobby. So i was not giving an opinion. I was giving and option for this person!!! And any real rod builder knows there is know perfect guide, reel seat, or blank....just whatever arrangement is best for each individual who owns the rod!!! That person has to determine that what he or she likes the best through trial and error!!! They can lesson to the advice of others but there is no short cut to experience!!!
I'm very curious to see what type of roller tip that rod is using and what's the diameter of that blank at the tip. I'm looking forward to see that picture & we'll continue discussing from there.
Ok now ppl i was jus trying to see if its possible to spiral wrap my 10ft 80-130 gatot blank and to see if its worth doin. Im not goin to do rollers at all i want all foul proff guides or the metal spiral guides

i hope this wasnt aimed at me about my comment. if it was i apologize for what ever i said. i am just starting to build rods and would like to see a acid wrapped rod with normal rollers.
This post was not aimed at you it was intended for Boghy. I actually enjoy reading your post and look forward to reading more in the future. Like i said before I'm not a beginner and in the future if you have any questions regarding construction of rods, specifics ,thread work, and or how to do any thread design hit me up ill gladly share any knowledge that i have.
I can be reached at 561-628-0878. Please tell me that your part of the shark club so i know.
As to Juice0425 i apologize for all the rod drama didn't intend on arguing with anyone. just wanted to offer an option. In my opinion those guides will work fine but you will have to use a different tip. The standard tip wont hold up. good luck looking forward to seeing what you come up with
