Rod action
I have 2 types of actions basically.One is medium fast action and another one is medium slow action.

The later is suitable for slow and relaxing casting.

$20 is added for trimming each guides.

-Circular cross section rod-
I sometimes think that I want to make rods more freely and more sensuously.So I developed this method.
I disposed powerfiber sides (outside of bamboo)for each glued sides when I glue them.After glue is harden, I shave the cross section of branks in a circle while checking the action.It minimize loss of power fibers if outside of branks are cut and it has enough durability.
I know this disposition of powerfibers is not efficiency, but it also has unique characters.
Another fault is ,beautiful "Madake's" fibers that gathered near outside are hidden inside.
First of all, this method is not conventional for the numerical value and it is very enjoyable works for me.
