Re: PLS Help with a Missing Guide

Yes, thanks!

That's where I actually saw the kit components and identified UNSG. Hard to source online anymore it seems.

I may have been unclear. The guide in particular is a single foot. But with supports on either end. It's not a double foot guide.

Like the one in the first photo.

Re: PLS Help with a Missing Guide

Wow quick response! Thanks so much sir! Was debating whether to replace the guide or rebuild the rod. (really like the blank) But I think I need more experience before I try the latter. Thank you again Angler JO. UPDATE Found some LNSG kits. And appears to be a UNSG 7 or 8 according to the kit. Havi...

PLS Help with a Missing Guide

Hi rod builders, Was wondering if you could help me out. Have an old Fenwick Techna AV AVC66F rod that's missing the 3rd guide from the reel seat (8th from the tip). Had 10 guides in all. Was hoping to buy a replacement but I can't for the life of me figure out all the Fuji codes, names, types, etc....

Hi,

Is this basically USDM version of the LV7?

Been away for so long. All the new stuff is confusing.

Thanks.

Bassart Daiwa Issues

Having bought Bassart knobs since they first came out. I first got one for a Pixy, and when putting in the Daiwa knob screws it was quite tight. So much so that when I had it tightened, the knob would no longer spin. So I would keep it loose, but then the knob would come off. Anyway, I though it was...

Re: More Calfish Magic...

Personally prefer Bassart to the Zpi handles. But the Daiwa knob screws are too tight a fit for the Bassarts. Although I've been able to force the screws on earlier reels, the one on the Type-R above was a real issue. I used brand new Daiwa screws from Japan and they just wouldn't fit. Had to saw th...
