Started my kit from H@H, glueing up reel seat had me nervous, shimming with masking tape, aligning everything etc. gotterdone! Wrapping the guides will be a breeze, thats why I refinished an old boo rod, so I know the wrappin will go good. LF,JC I know this is rod building but put it here for all those who are thinking of building there own. Go for it. The family here will give you all kinds of help. Big thank you to Leo
