ChasingTales Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ok I built on an 8 foot lami honey for a kayak rod cut a little from the tip and a little from the butt to get the action I was looking for. Now after its all built looks good and feels good but if you shake it or cast you can hear clicking. If you hold where you think its at and shake I moves up the blank. If you grab a guide and push it back and forth you can get the clicking sound which is more like a crunchy sound.could it be I didnt wrap it tight enough? I dont see the guides moving thou when pushed on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccb Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 You mean a little off the tip & butt? One piece? Do you hear the ring on the reel seat moving ????? Confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingTales Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Reel seat is solid no ring movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Richie Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 did you underwrap the guides ? * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccb Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Capt R I know you have wrapped a lot of rods and I have wrapped many myself , but I have never heard a loose wrap click. I'm sure you agree. Maybe a loose ring or weld on the guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingTales Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 yes they are underwraped No rings are not loose On the guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siphon1 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 It happened to me once. Find the clicking guide and give it a quick blast of WD40 right at the feet and underwrap. There is no guarantee that it will work but it worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is it a multi-piece rod?? Herb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Allard Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Chasing Tales  It's probably the liner in the guide moving against the guide frame when you flex the rod. Running some thin epoxy between the liner and the guide frame should fix it or you could just ignore it!  Cheers  Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingTales Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 No HL it a one piece.I really dont mind it. But I just cant figure out why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpr Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Same thing happened to one of my builds on a real noodle of a blank (I forget the model). It was several of the guides giving a squeaking clicking type noise, after half a season it went away. I just chalked it up to being a by product of the blank being so floppy and the epoxy slightly separated from it. They weren't under wrapped.

ChasingTales Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah its kinda of a noodle withback bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNHunter Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 It happen to me too, and i have talk to other builder and they said it the guide feet moving when the rods is flexing, they said it will go away in time. But i don' t like it so i found a way to fix it. The way to fix it is after you put on your guide, put on your reel and run your line though all the guide. Then tie your line to something and pull up a couple of time then turn your rods so the your reel is facing up and pull couple time. Also do it on the left and right side of the rods too. By doing that your guide will move to it relax position and it wont move when you epoxy it. Oh i almost forgot, rechecks you wraps cuz it will move some and you need to reburnish it.

HL Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Chasing... Multi piece blank - my guess was "ferrule-knock". One piece blank - my next best guess is that you used color preserver. That will do it. Herb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
