Thinking about building a rod

I just bought a set of chrome fuji hardloys 4 1 of my 14/0 rods. Hope this helps.

i recommend talking to travis he is a rod builder that is very reasonable with prices and is very good at what he does i have 3 rods by him with original 130 gator blanks all with rollers heres his number 941 258 7429 cape haze rods

you can also talk to joe on here. he has built all my rods and they are very good quality he will be able to help you out and tell u good guides that are cheap. travis may tell you to use top of the line guides that will cost u around 200 dollars a set.

You can also talk to captfncrazy lol. His work is the shit lol. He's also good at what he does. He's rebuilt two of my rods and I'm pleased with them. I have Two more rods he will rebuilding also.

On page 93 on my new mudhole catalog. 2 diffrent ones Carbide boatrod guides or wire frame boatrod guide. I have had bad luck with fuji guides. The insert will break out and the line i use will cut a rut in them. The carbide guides are the toughest. If the insert comes out the frame the frame will cut or frey the line. Already replaced the tip on the BHC 80w, and seeing some ruts starting in some of the others. The wrap is only as good as the guides. The first shark rod i put fuji guides on I wraped it flawlessly and one year later i had to cut it all off on count of fuji guides. Rollers are best but boatguides let splices go better.
