Ive decided to build an 11'3" switch rod. Having never built a rod before I have a couple of questions:
1. For the small fighting butt, is the cork just glued on to the blank or should it be an extension of the blank, i,e screwed in to the reel seat? If screwed in, can you buy the threaded part to go with the reel seat, or do they come with one?
2. Where is a good place to buy reel seats?
3. If the blank is 12mm diameter then what should the ideal bore size of the reel seat be, and what is the realistic max it could be
Thanks in advance
