    I'm a little late to this thread, but since you have a T3, I'd highly recommend the SV1000 regular or deep spools for bombing lipless cranks. They're one of my furthest casting reels for 1/2-3/4oz....

    Yes, the Feather blanks have a butt taper kind of like Point Blank's. I haven't measured one so I'm not sure where they end, but they're good blanks for the money imo.

    I'll disagree. The MBX is still above the new M1's and Feather rods. Even for as old as it is, it's still an excellent rod/blank. I'd rate them above the older IMX and just below older GLX's (mbr...

    What kind of baits will you be throwing? What about line type and size? Do you like to play with the fish or are you a no-drag, wind-in-the-fish type guy?

    Go with a 4 powered rod, the 704 or 734. 3 is a little light imo for bladed baits. 4 might not be the best for cranks either..

    Also look at the 705cb glass (fast), which would be my choice. ...

    Also, you must mix prokote with a minimum of 3cc's of each part. Not saying that you can't have it cured with half of that amount, but it gives you that much more room for error.

    It's a general misconception that more hardener would cure epoxies faster. It's actually the other way around, more resin and less hardener.

    But you should always go with the directions, which is...

    I use a small butane torch to heat up the epoxy after it's applied to each guide, mainly to remove all the bubbles. I use more heat than most, to the point where my epoxy liquifies. Just keep in...

    That's an amazing rod, one of my favorites. But I wouldn't go down to 2oz on it. I really liked mine for 3-5oz baits, but it'll toss a 6.5oz deps 250 perfectly fine as well. You're going to really...

    Imo there isn't a rod that you can throw both the deps175/hudd68 and 8" hudd/160 with, at least not effectively. If there was one, it'd probably be the dobyns 867 (because of the softer tip) but I'd...

    That's normal and fine. Some guides come straight, some forward sloping, mainly for the guides to be "tangle-free."

    10-12rpm is fine, although a faster rpm would be easier for straight lines. You can also use high quality painters tape for the lines, but you said as cheap as possible.

    Replacing a tip isn't too hard. There shouldn't be any need to cut the blank itself. There should be some youtube videos on it, but you can also bring your rod to any custom rod builder or some...
