    Son of a GUN !!! I got my lathe with the upgrade pre-installed. Whoever did it - put the chuck too close to the motors and I cannot get the belt off without taking the entire thing apart ! What a hassle. The pulley's NEVER lined up .. the chuck will not stay locked on the blank - I have to use a heavy rubber band to hold it closed (this was a suggestion from the retailer I bought it from - as - it's "common" .. ) I am in the middle of building a crap load of rods - blanks from NFC and BATSON and LAMIGLASS - but - my belt is sort of frayed .. I think because of the miss alignment of the pulleys. I have had the lathe for a few years .. but - everytime I ask a question - I get a "jerry - rigged" fix ... aaaaargh .. I hope everyone gets a better one than I got !!!!

      The performance issues you're describing are certainly not typical of either a factory assembled Alps Power Wrapper or a Forecast Power Wrapper with Alps Chuck upgrade.

      Yes they do. It's what's known as a spiral wrap. It allows the rod to be build for conventional/casting reel use, and also allows the guides on the upper section to be oriented downwards. Here's a good video on the topic. ua-cam.com/video/rKVUg1Wgm8k/v-deo.htmlsi=eC1xxpDHdQKN9alm

      Thanks for chiming in Herb. In making this video, we fully expected comments to this effect. Batson makes zero apologies regarding where we source production of rod blanks and components. We have sourced rod blanks made in the USA multiple times over the years, each time with results that are unacceptable to our professional rod building customers. That said, we continue to seek and evaluate new sources of USA-made rod blanks to meet demand from builders with stances similar to yours. Batson pulls no punches in stating our position on this topic and we will continue to partner with manufacturers that can deliver consistent quality at production scale, which is exactly what our customers expect from us.

      Thats fair enough but unfortunately, japan, china and south korea is the absolute king of carbon material manufacture and goods production. Theyve been doing it for the past 60 years, all the machines, troubleshooting and knowledge is all there. You would be stupid to not use them for rod blanks. hexcell isnt too bad but mitsubishi and toray carbon is the best on the market.

    @loganfishbeard 3 місяці тому

    I found an old school 10"6' blank(the old green ones) on ebay for one of my first rod builds. You guys wrapped that carbon thick back then. The bank has a perfect action for a salmon bobber rod but felt tip heavy with the reel seat at 14". Slid it all the way up to 18" and viola! A beutifully balanced rod. I'm sure the new blanks are lighter these days, but my lesson was that you can make a terrible rod out of a great blank if you dont spend the time to make the hardware function ideally with it.

      Hi David You can build any blank in any configuration you like. Typically if you see a series listed as spin or cast, that series will contain a lighter powered group of models called spin, and a heavier group called cast. Either group can be built as spin or cast to suit the angler's needs. We hope this helps.
