Re: Rod
Grem,
You will NOT be disappointed! I actually started building my own rods about 15 years ago because I learned about the spiral rod concept and was unable to find what I wanted around here. I started with tuna rods but now ALL my rods are spiral wrapped. Most guys have a hard time getting past the cosmetic side of the concept but, the practical side is hard to dispute.
In your case, on a jigging rod, you'll enjoy the way the line sheds off the top of the blank if you mistakenly loop the line over the top when jigging. My favorite result of the concept is the way the reel is held STRAIGHT UP when the blank is loaded in a fight. The rod will no longer try to twist in your hands during a fight which your forearms will love.
ENJOY!
