I have a dumb question when measuring rod length is it from the butt of the rod or where the rod meets the handle Thanks to your videos I’ll be restoring the cheapest of the bamboo rods my grand dad left for me. Just want to do it right and make it fish better
So I got carried away after watching part 3 and pulled all the guides off and stripped my blank to bare cane. Neglected to watch this video first and now kicking myself for not marking the spline. A million videos on how to find it on graphite and glass (plus I have a bit of experience) but is there anything unique to bamboo rods so I can be sure to get that right???
Hi, thanks for your comment. Are you able to see any dark areas left on the blank where the guides were? Generally the guides will leave marks behind that will tell you what size to wrap the new guides.
@@matthewdraft4575 tough to see any definitive evidence but I'll just go on the straightest axis. Its all a big experiment on an inexpensive rod in the first place.
