DonAndersen Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 But how would it cast? And I'm really curious of how it was built. Typical tubular rods are constructed around a mandrel. The question is how would the mandrel be withdrawn? Or are the rods solid. Solid plastic rods were the first pass @ building plastic fishing poles. Got one in the basement build about 50 years ago. The guide issue is a neat one. There is a trade off between too few and to many. Forget the weight thing - it's marketing BS. I'd suspect that putting more guides on a rod may have a lot more to do with hitting a price point than decent rod design. What you gotta give the guy is that he was challenging accepted thought. As far as spey rods, nothing new about them. About turn of the century design. Don Quote
Conor Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Its nice to see an original blank idea. I could see this taking off with certain types of fishing, like flats fishing. Short back casts with huge shooting. Quote
