NFC 736 MB X-Ray Spinning Rod Build
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:33 am
I thought it may be helpful for beginners if I documented my build.
Components
NFC 736 MB X-Ray
American Tackle CCT Dagger with ULH Hood
Cork foregrip and locking nut
American Tackle G2 carbon fighting butt with 3k insert and cork composite
Torzite Guide Train and Tip Top - 25H, 12H, 7M, 6L, 5.5 (5 running guides)
The first step was to find the spine the blank and I marked it with my China pencil.
The second step was to cut the butt's cork so I could ream it and make it fit. I used a razor blade to cut the cork. The butt of the blank is fairly large and I was worried that the cork's diameter was not large enough. It ended up barely being large enough. I used rod bond to epoxy everything back together.
