Mending guides on the blank

Recommended Posts

I have heard that you do this with thread and epoxy, is this true?

Basically I'm trying to get the guide to stay down on the blank......

Yes, I picked up a blank in the states for an unbelievable price so I decided to build one.

Don't have the kit, its a sage IM6 14ft and I have not the slightest clue where to start.........

YouTube for sure! Also check out www.mudhole.com , you can ask questions and purchase what you need. Their specialty is rod building.

Mudhole.com is a great resource for learning to build or repair rods. Search the site and the forums for tips on guide sizes and placement for your blank and how to find the spine. It's also a good place to order everything you need just don't go overboard, if you only plan on doing a rod or two you can do a passable job without a wrapper or turning motor.
