I certainly don’t know anything about repairing or assembling fishing rods, but how acceptable is it to mount metal guide legs directly onto bare graphite? Won’t the metal legs wear down the rod blank during micro-bends—even accounting for the thread wrap—or even simply weaken the blank by pressing the metal directly against the graphite? Would it be more reliable to place a spacer between the guide legs and the blank—for example, a single layer of thread wrap, which should ideally be impregnated with epoxy—and begin installing the guide on top of the spacer before the spacer and the adhesive applied to it have fully cured? Again, I’m a complete novice in this area, and these are just my thoughts.
Awesome video man!
No commentary so we must guess what was used. Lazy🤬
