I have a couple questions about building a rod. First, how do you go about sizing the tip? I bought the tip (4.5, 1.8mm tube) that it showed on the rod specs, but it doesnt quite fit. Just curious if you size your tip a little big?
Second thing is, the rod blank looks like it has some cracks in the blank down near the handle. The handle will be over the top of it, and curious if you think the epoxy would bind it back together, or I should return. I already have to return the butt cap and order a new one and get a new tip, so curious if I should return the blank as well. According to Mudholes return policy, I pay shipping, so curious what you thought of if I should return it?
