Spiral eye wrapped fishing rods - 08/23/17 01:55 PM
I was wondering if anyone has used this type of rod before, and if so, what are your thoughts? I have put a few pictures of what they would look like below from what I could find online. I have done a little research on them, and while there are some varying opinions, I can't really find anything negative other than people aren't used to them. In fact, from what I can tell, they have several advantages actually.
I am currently talking to a custom manufacturer and they want to sponsor me, but I want as much info before going with them. I have 2 rods now that I will use this weekend for the first time. So far, they are very light, and I can see why it has been mentioned that there would be less fatigue on your wrist from the rod wanting to twist under load, and it seems to cast/flip/pitch a bit better and smoother.
I thought it was a gimick at first, but seems legit and they are really nice, well made custom rods. Any info or advice would be great.
