~~ Why you should get a ~~ Willie Rod ~~ A Willie Rod is made for the individual that will use the
rod. ( a one of a kind ) rod, made one at a time with the performance and quality You want. ~~ First the most important part,
~~~~
Picking the blank. I go through many blanks, ( with info you give me
) and look for the one that meets your needs, of fish, lure weight, length, pieces, etc. ~~ Check the blank for Straightness,
and build according to it as needed. ~~ Handle and seat are then constructed and placed
on the blank. ~~ Guides are then chosen as per your wants, and placed on the blank in what
is called ~ The Concept System ~ ~~ Then the rod is Static Tested. ~~ Guides on a casting rod can
be wrapped in a better way, An Acid or Spiral Wrap. As a spinning set up. No twist of the blank, Much better control of the
rod. You fight the fish, not the rod. ~ photo below ~
~~ All
single foot guides are wrapped with a Forhan Wrap.
Below - is the Spiral/Acid Wrap. The line ( casting rod ) goes from the top of the rod to the bottom, as a
spinning rod. Very stable casting rod. Easier to fish, no twist ! E-Mail for details
