She certainly ain't shy about her color selection. Maybe she should start posting on all the color combo threads, some guys NEED a womans touch when it comes to color selection.

I wish I had a video, trim bands and inlays are so easy to do. I just cannot explain in words - well I can, but it would take about 3 pages worth, and it wouldn't be clear until you saw.

Whether the rod wants to torque or not, it CANNOT, and the rod will be stable. The line ALWAYS seeks the lowest point, regardless of where the spine is located. The rod will not twist up becasue the...

Seawolf - I think you are the victim of falling into my "trap". Let's say the sprial rod is off spined 90 degrees. You're fighting a fish, will the rod twist up becasue that is where the spine is? Or...

Or you can just spiral wrap it and eliminate this torque rather than reduce it. That's my point more than anything else.

Importance of the Spine
