Tip
Tip: For multi-piece rods, finding the spline is difficult and not critical; if finding it, roll the blank until it snaps into place, mark that side with tape, and align guides and tip top along the same line
How to do it: If seeking the spline, roll the blank until it snaps, mark it with tape, and align guides and tip along that line, recognising it is not critical
Mistake it fixes: Obsessing over spline finding for multi-piece rods
Why it works: Spline alignment is a refinement, not a requirement for multi-piece rods. Overemphasis wastes time that could be spent on guide alignment.
When it matters most: Rod building, guides
