Re: Need Help Spining A Rod Blank
I'm with Tampa Jim on the straight axis with the curvature up. I built my last two rods using this method and they both cast straight and true without any sections "twisting" out of position when a fish is on. I have one rod I built and spined the "old fashion way" and the top section always twists to the left after catching a few fish. When I sight down the rod along the spine, the tip is curved to the right even though the spine is true. It will find it's own straightness after a few fish each and every time.
