No mate, not many. Purely my own needs plus the occasional repair for mates.

So difficult to source good blanks at prices that make it worthwhile these days, except for beach casters. And I dont use those really.

neb for comparison

Just a few pictures of the reel seat assembly on my new lure blank. First time I've used a cutaway seat. At the moment I'm liking it, but time will tell. H&H completely shite at supplying other components - most out of stock. Used RR&Things for most. Turned the duplon down on a mini lathe for trims ...

Can anyone add pics using an android phone?

The attachment button doesnt want to work for me.

Be careful how sharp a point you grind down to. I have only had one rod break in normal use, and that was one I didn't build. On investigation the guide feet had been sharpened to cutting points that dug into the blank when flexed.
