Scott,
I found this site while searching to buy a roller guide spinning rod. I originally found a forum that was discussing some rods you made for a fishing show. In your post your mentioned hearing rumors of a guy catching a Blue fin on a spinning rod. It may have been me you heard about. I was on the Excel in May of 2008 with a Fin-Nor spinner and caught several Blue fin Tuna. I have been taking a spinning real along with me for the last 4 or 5 trips as it seems there is always a school of fish that hang just outside of the live bait swimming range. The kite guys catch a few but that's about it. Since I started with the spinner I have caught a lot of grief, but I have consistantly caught fish when others couldn't. My photo with the spinner was on the Excel Website fishing report date of May 23, 2008--this photo is with a nice Yellowtail. The problem I have had is I break a lot of fish off due to line rub. The Fin-Nor will take a lot of drag, when I crank it down the line abrades on the standard guide and then breaks. I caught a lot of fish, but I also lost a lot due to frayed line. I only found one outfit that sells roller spinning rods and they want around $700. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brook
