    Default Lotsa' guides!

    Man! Switch Rods have a lot of guides. Tip top, female ferrule wraps, and 10 double foot snake guides. All with gold metallic tipping. Thats 54 wraps by hand including hook keeper and winding check. No wonder I get Charley Horses in my knuckles.

    LOL...Joe, try doing a switch like I have done with single turn wraps on both inner&outer of the wraps, that's even worse!

    Yeah, with those 3 color wraps I have done on a couple of rods lately, I have gained a new appreciation for single foot guides.

    I don't move as fast as I used to. Besides, the Spring Time Honeydos have just about killed me. When I got home from work today I tripped on a rug, fell and skinned and barked up my knee. So, no yard work today and I was able to finish quite a bit on the rod. My wife tells me that the cramps in my knuckles is from dragging them when I walk.
