Disco is awesome. Did you add a gimbal to the whisker seeker rod that Disco is watching? If so which gimbal did you add? I have been thinking of adding one on mine because this tekotas are heavy and mine wants to always rotate when I am drifting

I added a gimbal butt mount to that rod Matt as well as several others I use for pulling boards for the exact reason you stated. I can’t remember which ones I bought though. I had to buy several different sizes cuz once I ripped off the old butt pad the diameter of the rod was much smaller than the inside diameter of the butt pad I bought online. My BCF and WC rods do not have gimbal caps but they do have a larger rounded ball for an end cap which keeps the rods from spinning in your outriggers and flush mounts like the WS tend to do. I contacted WS with my request to add the gimbal or a bigger butt cap about a year ago and they got back in touch with me and seemed very interested. I explained why and they were more than interested. I was later contacted by someone else at WS who wanted to discuss further. I really thought they might add a better butt cap on there 3rd gen rods. I love the action of my WS rods for straight up drifting and anchoring but I prefer my bcf trolling rods for pulling boards. I did hear that WS upgraded the wrapped handle and it is now solid but have not seen one in person yet. Maybe they fixed the butt pad with this new version. I will try and look up what gimbal pads I bought this afternoon but if I were you I would measure the outside diameter of your current WS butt pad and then buy the rubber ones that slip on over that one. It will work just as good as the gimbal pads and you will not be voiding your warranty by altering the rod.

Sounds good bud. I will look up rubber gimbals and see what’s available
