what guides are those?
Thanks Burney, glad you like the way it casts, pity it hasn't landed a giant yet.
1. He actually cracked the blank where the leader caught the original Flip guide and broke the guide.
2. a carbon insert was put in but there was no re-inforced binding. Did an overwrap bind to prevent future splitting.
3. It had been converted to be something similar to an EVO with a #40 flip put on the bottom section, only problem is the the Base is 12cm shorter than the EVO base and the reel seat is 10cm higher making the reel 22cm closer to the guide, result was continued line slap and wrapping on the guide in the cast.
4. A chair end cap was put onto the butt and it was loose.
Resprayed the rod
Fitted Fuji Alconite low rider reduction train followed by K Series running guides. They will handle up to 1.2mm Mono leaders tied with a FG Knot.
Polished the blank with emery paper where we removed the old guides and gave a light Matt finish touch up.
I'm sure that Ruan is happy with the end product because I got a 3:30am WhatsApp telling me how far it casts.

Ja it casts great and everything is done perfekt now just to land a big one on it hopefully tuesday it will happen if the boss says I can have the day of. Ja now all that rod needs is a saragosa20000 with some hmp braid but that has to wait a bit now maybe in 2 months time I will get that
now after 2 months of using this rod I can say that I didn't get any wind knots line raps or any problems and I have added a daiwa saltist6500h with 50lb braid to the mix and it casts like a dream. guys I tried the quick and easy way out it didn't work rather do it the right way and use your rod to its full ability thanx again Craig for a great job.

Enigma always does fantastic work...
He did a few of our rods before we left to PSJ and the workmanship and attention to detail is always excellent.
