Very cool I like the checkerboard cork design.



Its not about how many fish you catch or how big they are, its about the memories you make catching those fish.

As always, tight lines!

The "spiral" wrap is made to take the line from the top of the rod to the bottom, used on baitcasters. This guide placement increases senitivity because the line transmits feel better because it doesn't have to pull down through the frame of the guide like on convential rods. It also uses less guides... A normal 7' rod would take 11 micros, while this wrap only uses 8 micros. Lastly it reduces torque when fighting fish. I hope that makes sense and answers your question.

I am a HUGE fan of the spiral wrap in most situations. My guess to the reason it isn't mass produced is it takes a lot of time making sure you have the correct guide placement.

I like the texas quarter in the butt of the rod. I have never seen that before.
