Correct I did three of them to try--One was the 1362F with 10 inches off the butt which I tried and it seemed to cast Ok but I wanted to try it with less casting brakes in the 700 Calcutta or with a faster reel once it got warmer here.The only thing I noticed is that it feels more like a spinning rod when it is being retrieved. I also did an ASW-1089 set up kind of the same with the 25 first guide and the 2-12*s to a 16 on the 180.This seems to keep the line in close to the blank but still gives plenty of clearence and the line doesnt seem to have any problems here during the transition.I also set up a 50 class blank as a cod jig stick a little like a stand up rod with the shorter butt and a longer foregrip with some pac-bay BBSG SIC guides.I am pretty sure the boat one will be worth the effort as I have seen it done on a couple of rods one for Cod jigging and another as a stand up 50/130.Also now doing a batson 1089 as a spinning to compare to the spiral.I laid out the pattern and started to wrap but am now back working and seem to be having Time/motivational problems but I will get it done and let its results be known good-bad or indifferent.Also have to decide on whether to go with the BSVLG 50 or the BHVLG 40 HH for a first guide.Keep hoping either Fuji or Pac bay will come out with a 50 sic guide.
