Hi , I was wondering if anyone can help/ advise me . Iv been given a Cono-flex Nemesis Zeloso which is rung for a fixed spool and in need of a rebuild and thought i'd have a go myself !:eek:! .Firstly the joint / spigot seems to have a lot of wear as the top and bottom sections butt up to each other and if if i give it a bit of a waggle ! I can feel a slight knock :(. Can i rebuild this with joint restorer or is there a another better way ? I was thinking of using minina 4 rings but i'm sure iv read somewhere that there tip ring isn't very good , so can anyone recommend an alternative ? and finally ! i'm bewildered as to what grade of whipping thread to use A B C D !? Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
I cant believe you have not had a single reply giving advice, if you had asked for someone to build you the rod then you would have had the whole Entourage offering to build it.

I will send you a pm with answers to your question Iva.

hi mate the joint can be built up with carbon spray but doesn't last that long light coats built up and keep turning the rod.Thread sizes c & d for main wraps a & b for underwraps and tippings.
 
Its a funny old forum this at times. People wax lyrical about how helpful people are etc but its only when it suits. I put a post on yesterday about reducers, loads of views then one gent come on with some help, mick303 what a diamond.

I'll help where I can but in this instance I cant. Good luck with your rod building mate.

Sorry for a late reply mate but I was oht for a meal with my wife but b4 anybody gets on thier high horse with thier stupid comments although my son used my account looking for a penn reel I would be more than Willing to help you with anything you need you can even come to my house and I would guide you through it just bring some biccys lol
 
Com'mon Stan do you not realise you, as a rod builder, you are supposed to stay in the house permanently, not have a life, and sit a trawl NESA waiting for someone to ask for rod building advice. In future can you ensure you reply within 3 1/2 mins and I think its a disgrace the lad would have to bring his own biscuits. Have a good day!
