Wayne, As I said, to each his own. If you make a bamboo rod with me and plan on single foot guides, you will have to take it home to wrap it. LOL Now I stand to be stomped on by single footers. Tony

To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Date: Wednesday, January 5, 2011, 9:11 PM Hi Tony; I see, for me I started assembling spinning rods prior to fly rods. Most of the spinning rods I built used single foot guides so I guess single foot guides look more "normal" to me. I'm working on a 7'6" fiberglass 3wt and actually using single foot ceramic ring lock guides just to see how it works compared to more conventional fly guides. I have another 7'6" glass blank that I plan on using single foot titanium fly guides to see how much the two differ. I think if I built a bamboo rod, I have to use snakes just for the nostalga aspect. I do envision single foot guides on it though.

Another thing. if not wrapped right, they will slip out from the wrap. Again we do what we want to do and what pleases us.
