Billy - i went 20-16-12's to the tip. i had two 16's, but it did not flow right. i am going to wait for the cold to break a little so i can go cast this thing.
WeeWee- i read some positive results posted in here by Fishaddict. maybe he'll chime in.
SPIRAL THREAD
Mike - i have it set up a little off set right now.
i am spiraling left since the reel handle is on the right. i just figured it would balance better. i just checked the weather. it looks like tomorrow or thursday will be my only non snow days this week to test cast. i will post my results as the rod developes.
