[QUOTE="200racing, post: 229769, member: 5383"] i used a phone book for thread tension. a box with a notch cut in it to turn the blank. i used flex-coat over my wraps as well as for grips and reel seat since it set up in about .5 hr. this is a stiff, light rod for shaky head and and worm fishing. it a lot of work. i only see it being practical for a special purpose rod. you cant build rods for cheaper than in the stores but you can build a very nice rod for cheaper than a high end rods. this one cost right at $120 to get everything here.i have several rods worth of flex-coat and thread left over. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150269815076795&l=25df4bda77 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150269815416795&l=5f2923c381 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150269815701795&l=ba89fb1257 [/QUOTE]
