#1 Post by hughcronin »

alright lads havn't been logged on here for a while-to busy doin the reel thing! wait till I'm back at work in september I'l be on again everyday.
anyway I'm after getting a blank CME second hand. and am wondering if any of you guru's could answer me few questions please.
1. anyone know the correct ring spacings and sizes for a rod built for multi.
2. anyone have any preferences on reel high or low for that particular rod.
3. anyone know exact dimensions for butt section and tip section.(length and breadth like)
4. what reel seat ye recomend?
5. and diamite or ordinary tip eye ring.

cheers dude's, if anyone can answer some of the above I'd a be much obliged like.

hello there, you can get the spacings by logging onto the world-casting
forum, i personely would fish the rod low, again the daometers you
will find on the world casting forum,use a moveable reel-seat, you can put
it to suit youre-self, abu make a very good one with a casting trigger
incorporated onto it, diamite tip ring for fishing ,would bre my preference

good luck, steve.

hell tom, i think youre dead right mate, every rod i see nowadays has
a diamite tip fitted, even the rod builders are fitting them on their rods,

hello hughcranan, just one more thing you havent mentioned, is zoneing
the blank, ie which side to put the rings on, for a muliplier they are
put on the soffter-side of the blank,and fixed spool vice-versa, you
just need to find the spine of the rod, tom can probably explain better
than myself, it is far more important than what type rings to use etc,etc,

regards steve.
