Also made a spine tester to try

Sweet! I am just trying to figure out where peanut butter comes into rod building?!

Jiff Creamy is an absolute necessity!  If you are not using it then you are doing it wrong.

 

Congrats.  Let the obsession begin...

I taught I could use it to hold the guides on before wrapping

I prefer alcohol to peanut butter when building! Some of my best designs were found at the bottom of a couple bottles of IPA!

Won't be able to start on it for about 2 weeks

In my case, it's used to bait the mousetraps in my shed.

Got home from vacation & want to start on the rod build, first question with the reel seat, it's a Fuji ecm, do I just expoy it in place or do I have to put tape in the back of it, it fits really tight
