Length of shrink tube on a century?

[Tomthewelshie]

Could someone please do me a favour and measure the length of shrink tube on their century graphex rods?

I really liked the length and want to put similar on my harrison blanks but stupidly I didn't measure the century before selling them.

Thanks

I don’t own those rods so can’t help but is it for the whole butt or a section of it?
Can you not just measure the butt and cut the tube accordingly, or if it’s just the reel seat area, mark and measure the section where you want the tube to go?

I might be missing something but I can’t quite see why you’d need to know the exact measurement?

Agree. With heat shrink tube, there will be quite a length difference in what you need pre-shrinking it and the finished item anyway.

My century t900 has a 147cm length of shrink tube from the butt - not sure which rod you wanted a measurement on but my kompressors are having a rebuild

Understood but you could get a pretty close approximation by placing your reel wherever you have it then adopting a casting position however you do it and marking off the section accordingly?
Might have to get someone else to make the marks for you.

Tbh when I fit shrink tube I just cover the whole butt anyway - was never a fan of having bits here and there, unless that’s how the rod came then I usually leave it.

@Tomthewelshie I have Super Match Graphex rods, not sure what rod you specifically want measurements for but I can measure mine later when I get home if it helps?

That would be superb thank you

Sorry for delay @Tomthewelshie had a bit of a crisis at home. The shrink-wrap on my Super Match Graphex 1225mm or 48.2in in old money. Hope this is helpful
