Question? Rod

[combatvetfisher]

Is there such a thing as a Rod Diagram? IE(a picture with all the parts labled, how to find Guide spacing, etc.

[BakerStBobby2]

Guide spacing is not hard to figure out. I'm sure there is something(Book or the like) out there that will give you an idea on where to put the guides. But, I hope you make to next weeks class so I can show ya everything you wanna know in person.

Yes you are right i should be thankfull for my job. Here is a email i got today alerting military members and i tell you this its not the first time i have seen this Shit.

Gents,
Please make sure that each and every one of your Marines is aware of
the
following information.
Westboro Baptist Church will be staging protests in the San Diego Area and
will be targeting military members and their families as well as
pro-military churches, Jewish synagogue, and high schools. Attached is the
schedule of demonstrations along with name and address. If any of you or
your Marines attend any of these facilities you are highly encouraged to
stay away during the days or times of protests.
Background:
A Kansas-based "Baptist church" known for its anti-gay, anti-Semitic and
anti-military protests is planning four days of demonstrations at 43
locations in San Diego County next week.
Westboro - founded in Topeka in 1955 by Fred Phelps - is well-known for its
demonstrations outside military funerals, and for its protesters'
colorful signs. Among them: "God Hates Fags," "Thank God for Dead Soldiers,"
"Thank God for IEDs," "God Hates the U.S.A.," "The Jews Killed Jesus," and
"God Hates You."
The church gained notoriety for demonstrating outside the funeral of Matthew
Shepard - a gay Wyoming man who was murdered in 1998 - with signs that read,
"Matthew Shepard Rots in Hell." They resurfaced recently when they
protested at the funeral of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder in
Westminster, Md. On March 10, 2006 which gained significant media attention.
On Oct. 16 though the 19th, Westboro Baptist Church will begin protesting
outside local churches, Jewish community centers and high schools throughout
the San Diego area. Their website is blocked on DOD systems by DOD policy.
Despite the antagonizing language, Westboro's protests are often peaceful
demonstrations. They do, however, incite counter demonstrations that can
turn violent. This is the reaction the are reaching for to help gain
attention. A spokesperson for the San Diego Police Department said Westboro
contacted the SDPD with its demonstration schedule, and the police
department will provide "adequate" coverage for the demonstrations.
Again, military members and their families are encouraged to stay away from
the demonstration and counter demonstrations of any kind due to the volatile
nature of these gatherings. Keep in mind the protest is not the issue it is
the violence that can occur when others show up to confront the protestors.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you.

That Really gets my HEART GOING AND MY BLOOD FLOWING.Can anyone help me out still trying to find out why we can not KILL THESE FUCKING BASTARDS.

I am sorry i know this has nothing to do with rod building but sometimes i need to get things off my chest and what better way then sharing with people who have more life experience than me.

I don't think I've seen an all inclusive chart like that. There are however, many methods to guide placement but all are basically the same and none are absolute as rods are like snowflakes...do a google search for guide placement, lots of resources.

[kshredking]

Mudhole has one in the guides section. When you click on the guide you want it will give a chart and it will give you a general idea. Different rods have diferent actions so like I said it gives you a general idea but you won't no until you test it. I think you should do as Bobby said and goto the next class.

[combatvetfisher]

I really cant wait to go to the class

[BakerStBobby2]

I'd just smile and remind myself that you are defending their rights to protest. If it wasn't for you and our military they'd be protesting in German or Russian---and then killed or sent to jail for it.
Keep your head up, you know you're the better person for what you are doing for America!!

Bobby,,, spot on. They have 1st Amendment rights and freedoms precisely because there have been guys who fought for them.

Oscar,,, I use various caned charts as starting points,,, mudhole.com has their own and Fuji's online. PacBay (fishpacbay.com) has some too. And Batson Enterprises has put up the ones for their freshwater rods. But remember, these are starting points only. Rods differ, guides differ, reel heights differ, and seat placement differ. Because of those variables, no canned spacing is going to be optimal. That's where static testing comes in.
Timewise, I find starting from a chart and then static testing to optimize the number of guides, their izes, and spacing is efficient. You can get to the same result starting from nothing and just using static testing too, but I find it takes longer going that route.
