All SiC too right?

This rod building stuff is all new to me but I want to learn and have been watching a lot of videos and reading as much as I can.

On the last few rods, I have run an lc 20, then y frame singles and bldbag singles on the tip (all alconite). The bldbags are size 6, but because of the angle, they pass line like an 8 or 10. I have used them on two rods with no problems. If you want single foots, I recommend them. I use a forhan locking wrap with all my single foots. I throw 4oz on the rods and occasionally 5, although I would probably go with double foots on a rod where 5oz+ is typical (like a 1209).
