ROD BUILDING TIPS
Keep Guides Handy

By Peter Daschner

From Volume 5 - Issue #1 issue of RodMaker magazine:

RodMaker Magazine

Get a small block of foam or Styrofoam and use it to hold guides after they have been prepped for wrapping. Push the sharp end of one foot on each guide into the foam in the order you want them to go on the rod. This keeps them handy and prevents you from putting the wrong size guide in the wrong place and then having to cut it off and rewrap. Something that can easily happen when you are working with the smaller single foot guides! ~ Peter Daschner
