ok
the storm shad fish...now i know what you guys are talking about...man i gotta read these threads closer
i got stranded in two airports yesterday for over 12 hours so i got alot of time to think these things over when i remembered something that i learned awhile back, just never thought of it until they told me my luggage was lost....
take your coventional rod spined so you can cast well, where the relaxed curve moves backward easier as you cast...take that rod, tie it a paint pail or some other sort of resistance and pull upward with force. as you pull no matter how well the rod is spined it will still twist
i've seen rods used for comm. cod jigging that actually twisted apart when the epoxy from the wraps wore down. as this twisting happens the guides are literally trying to get to the other side of the rod......which is where they are in the first place on a spinning rod!
Whaddyathink....does this theory hold water or am I jet lagged and a little nuts.
ronnie...sorry for the hijack.....here's a tip
----take the sluggos---or----even better some ledgerunner's...cut the head at a 90 degree angle...thread them up to the jig head and then glue them with either zap a gap or super glue..
cary some cheap super glue with you and you can fix the rubber as you are fishing
i have a whole bucket full of plastic, but i mostly carry the old school stuff......
Powers---I got some special stuff brewing in my basement for you!!!!!!!shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
