Joe do you find the spine when you build a fly rod and put the guides on the outer side of the spine bend? I was taught find the spine mark it on each section of the rod and glue on the tip top. Then line up the reel seat with the tip top. We just finished a rod building class for 10 with one of the best builders that you also know and this was one item that he stressed. We also use masking tape. BILL
