[QUOTE="shfishinsticks, post: 119296, member: 1246"] Guide prep is a step that many rod manufacturers overlook. Guides have a blunt edge at the end of the foot. The thread will not readily climb up the foot while wrapping if the blunt edge is not removed. Using a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel, I create a [i]ramp[/i] for the thread to transition from the blank to the guide.

[img]https://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b244/ScottHovanec/Rod%20building/Matts%20rod%20progression/43preppedguides.jpg[/img] all the guides and hook keep are prepped and ready to be wrapped. [/QUOTE]
