Rod Building 2

Find the spine to determine the guides location.



Thread Wrapping:
You don't need a wrapping machine, just patience.



Complete the wrapping:
Last year I found the stripping guides on my Cabela's spey rod cause some inconvenience when I tucked it under my arm during a two-handed retrieve; so I removed the stripping guides and placed them in the positions of the first two snake guides.  Though the space between the reel and  the first guide became unusually wide, I never experienced any problem.  Therefore I do the same to the Sage's rod.  



Apply epoxy to the wraps.



My new toy is born.
