You make it look so easy

[@fdxcustomrods]

The only difference between you and I, is that I've messed up way more times than you. Practice, Practice, practice.

Use glare line from lights on rod to aline guides use clear surgical tubing 3/4 in long slite down one side longways to wrap round pole and hold guide in place , good fishing to ya

Thanks for the tip James!

Only difference for me is Silvia told me that the CPxtra needs to be decanted, so she sent me a bunch of the Bullard Bass Shot glasses. Otherwise, I do it the same way as you do and have always been super happy with the results.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for the info, and for watching.

Is there a rule of thumb on tension? Any way to judge the amount?

[@fdxcustomrods]

I think its more of a feel thing that you deveop for yourself but I like to set mine high enough to move the thread carriage. I also want it low enough to move the guide some when I'm doing final alignment.
