Rod recipe

I have a snapped T-Curve 200 OHD and i want to put the guides to use. i have found only one recipe on the fuji wesite and i was wondering if anyone new of any others they could share, plus now i have a butt section of no use and i think a new tip section would be worth almost as much as a new rod.

You can use those guides to build up a 7-10ft medium to heavy spin rod or another 50lb jig stick. I find the T-Curves OH guides are quite large for overheads. If they want to keep the line off the foregrip use taller frames like SVSG's.

from my enquiries about the rod I am building, you need a certain type of paint, otherwise it will crack under stress. not very pretty.

someone who has done it before should most definately be able to give you a better response

don't all get bright red rods now ;)
