The importance of keeping a record of all the components used was driven home to me recently. A fella's rod had an accident w/ a sliding icechest in the back of his truck, breaking off 2 guides. He called me, wanting to ship the rod back for me to do the repair. Shipping 7' rods isn't cheap. I looked up what guides I had used, he counted down from the tiptop, I knew right off the right size, and even the color# of thread used. I mailed him the 2 guides and he took to a local shop for the repair. $10 later, he's fishing again. I didn't start keeping good records 'til recently, now I wouldn't do it any other way, even on my personal stuff. Jerry
