I have made multiple attempts of detailing the build, but the forum has not accepted another post. If you want more details, you can go to https://raspberryfisher.wordpress.com/2 ... n-nts-3wt/

Again, Thank you

Earlier I tried to list what I did, but the website did not like some embedded character and failed. So one more time

. Down locking Lemke Reel Seat
. Premade Cork Handle
. Struble Silver Check
. Fuji Stripper
. Snake Brand Traditional Guides
. Silk Thread YLI - Brown, Tan, Red
. Al's Colour Preserver
. Prokote Thread Thread Finish
. Faber-Castel PITT Artist Pen - M

8 Guides placed on a static load test. With the continuous constant slow deflection, guide spacing is more uniform than normal.

Thin coats - 3. Did not use any additives to slow or thin the coat, but I made sure the epoxy over the gaps and legs.

Best line fit - Guideline Vario Tactical WF 3F, as well as an old SA XPS DT. Casts well from 10 to 40'. I can get it to 50+, but this is not why I have this rod.
