The glare line from your room lighting . Makes a perfect strait line down the rod. works great for me
That's a good point and I'm glad you mentioned it because I didn't in the video. That does work well for some people. There are two problems with that for me. One is that only works well with glossy blanks which I rarely build, I mostly build matte finished rods. Two is my light fixture where I do most of my work is round and doesn't make a good light line to use. Someone could also use a long diffused led light as a work around to that problem, but that still only works with glossy blanks. I'm pinning your comment to the top just in case others weren't aware of that option. It is a good one for those who can make use of it 👍
@@TheFishingHobby pros and cons , pros and cons but that's with everything , I just noticed it one day putting guides on needing a straight line and just noticed the glare line it is straight as line can get between to marks, hey putting guides on forget tape and rubber bands. Get surgical tubing cut in half in pieces and split them down the middle on one side . Fits around rod and slide over guide foot while you wrapp other side , mess around with it and try it out. Tmwyt, peace
You are a sharp guy. You know your stuff and help us DIY folks. Here’s a BIG THANK YOU.
As a rod builder myself we’re always looking for ways to make our life easier and I always enjoy the knowledge you bring forth. Thank you
That is true! Thank you!
Waiting to try your method already - thanks for the smart idea !!!
I hope it helps!
Low tech solutions are still some of the best answers. Nicely done.
Thanks!
looking forward to the next video.
Very solid, reliable method, well done.
Thank you!
This is a big help plus it saved me money.
Smart idea thank you
No problem, glad you liked it!
Awesome idea. Thanks!
thank you for this... I'm a bit ocd about alignment and this def provides a good reference line
Glad you like it!
I've never even thought of checking the alignment of my eyelets. Then again, I'm not real likely to cut them off and re-wrap them either, so maybe it's best I didn't know if they're off or not.😂👍💯
😂 yeah, don't even check them 😂
Hi, thanks for the tip, I build a lot of rods and usually just eyeball them but this method is something that I'm going to try.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Some people are definitely better able to eyeball the guides than others. The string as a visual reference against the blank may help you see warping in the blank itself and adjust the guide position to help compensate for that. I usually eyeball them and then double check everything before and after I wrap the guides using the method in the video.
Love to see a video on guide spacing!
I have one, hopefully it will be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/pdt5Ft9mM9Y/v-deo.html
Super great idea thanks for the video
TY Another great DIY common sense DIY tip. We need to send you to Washington.
Hahaha! Thank you but I wouldn't last long there I'm afraid!!!
I do similar but just clip a binder clip at end of line to give slight tension on string instead of the bottle cap. Will also try your method as well thanks!
That would probably work really well for most rods! I fish mostly ultralight rods (and lots of buggy whip fiberglass) that bend really easily. A binder clip may be heavy enough to bend the tip. I'm going to try it and see next time I am working on one.
The Fishing Hobby cool. All about trying stuff to find the techniques that work best for yourself right? Love your vids
@@deuces2k Absolutely and thank you!
Great Little Alignment Training Video Kevin.... I'll be mak'n me one :-)
Thanks, I think they are pretty handy 👍
Guide Alighment tutorial is excellent
Thank you!
Great idea man!! Will be making one in a day or two.
Richard from Kansas;)
Thanks! It works pretty well
Great clear to understand Tips thankyou
Thanks!
thank you!
Genius....
Thank you.
Your videos are good and well put together. Off the subject, I just started building rods again, it has been 12 years. A problem I have is writing on my rods. I prefer to write, because I think it makes them more personal. I cannot remember what I used, damn! Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you! Most people use calligraphy "quill" pens and India ink. Hope that helps 👍
instead of using a handle with a screw in it could you not just tie a line to the spinning rodreel shaft instead ??
You sure could, the only problem you might want to look for is the bail/rotor may be in the way depending on how high the first guide is off the blank. I have tied a line onto the spool oscillation shaft to help with alignment too. To me it is a little easier to have this part dedicated to the task, but I also had a bad reel laying around already.
A really simple trick for us common folk. Thank you. I am just getting into building and i have a question that i can't seem to find a answer to.
When placing guides on the blank. On a spinning rod is the spline on top of the blank and the guides on the bottom or do you place the guides on the spline?
On a spinning rod the spine faces toward the sky as you are fishing so the guides go on the side opposite to the spine.
@@TheFishingHobby i saw another video and they said the opposite. I built it with the spline down. I will know better on my next one. How bad will that affect the rods action being built that way?
You may not even notice it in all honesty. The spine is the stiffer side of the rod. The idea is to have the stiff side facing towards the sky as you are fishing no matter what type of rod you are building so that the rods natural tendency to bend more on the opposite side from the spine allows the most bend on the side of the rod that points down. In other words, a rod built for a bait caster will have the guides on the spine and a spinning rod will have the guides on the side 180° away from the spine. A lot of people who build rods say they don't even mess with doing that and it doesn't make any difference. I build using the spine just because it is easy to find and it isn't hard to do anyway so why not do it? On modern rods, I don't know that it really makes that much difference in reality. If I'm rebuilding old fiberglass rods, I don't worry about the spine because you can usually see it. Most of those old glass rods have a pronounced curve to them. I build those older rods to where the side that naturally hangs lowest is facing the water. That is the side opposite of the spine and it is very noticeable more often than not. The only reason I bring that up is because I think that is where the importance of finding the spine came from. For newer rods I doubt it makes a huge difference. Hope that helps, sorry for being so wordy haha!
@@TheFishingHobby it wasn't that bad. LOL.I am building a 2nd rod as well so this one is a learning rod. I just found out a few things and want to share.
When trying to place micro guides on the blank. Take a small piece of 1/4" and cit it down the middle and cut those into small strips and hold them sown till you can wrap them. And i found that my laser boresight tool works as well as that fancy tool. Tale it to the handle and let it shine down the blank and mark the center. And as far as skinny tape pinstriping tape would work Hope this helps anyone. And thanks again for the tips and advice
@@TheFishingHobby i just re read your statement and it's contradicting. If you face the spline to the sky on a casting rod. Aren't the guides on the spline then?
Gotta find a busted reel not. Great idea!
It works well, thanks!
The Fishing Hobby I meant gotta fine one. Keep the videos coming. My friend and I are new to rod building and find you as a great resource. Sharing your videos with my boys. Thank you!
@@CBL138 thank you! I really appreciate feedback on the videos 👍

The frustration I felt trying to line my guides up straight, I had to wrap a 13 foot one piece surf casting rod
