I built exactly what you are building(Phenix Ultra MBX 700HM ti-sic micros), it was in the show and tell section before the forum had a severe crash. I used all 3.5 Ti-sic micros, stripper at 0, first bumper 4" ahead at 60, second bumper 4" ahead of the first at 120, then the next guide at 180, usu...

Guys, I have a problem with the spiral wrapping.

I'm trying to do the smoothest path as possible, but I'm not sure if the line must touch in the bottom of the bumper and 3rd guides or that's not important.

The second, Third, and fourth you can configure them on the brake shoe holder. Both configurations from your example will provide the same 4 shoe brake force, but what a...

Thank you for the post Valky! Could you tell me the difference between this configurations in a "shoe holder", please: - 2 shoes in deep level + 2 in the middle - 2 shoes in deep + 1in mid+ 1 in shallow (like you have done). Do you remember what was the original configuration of the 6 dial? Thank yo...

Hello friends, I'm planning to made my first custom rod and I have a lot of questions in spite of I've read a lot in this forum, of course also before the problem with the server :doh: I'm thinking about a casting Phenix UMBx in 7' and MH power blank. I want an all purpouse rod for fishing when it's...
