That is different,I love the handle, can you tell me what the purpose of putting a spinning guide on a casting rod is? Thanks, awesome looking.

Thanks. some people have trouble with the line getting wrapped around the reel handle, I never had the problem until I switched from right handed reels to left handed reels,you grab the line in front of the guide, pull out your line and when you make your flip the guide keeps the line farther away from the reel and the reel handle. I don't think I have had my line get caught on the reel handle since I started adding this guide to my flipping sticks. I hope this makes sense because after reading what I just wrote I don't think I would be able to teach myself how to flip, I think I'm going to go get my flipping stick and go out in the yard to make sure I still know how to flip. Rich Forhan is the person who came up with the idea, he could explain it a lot better them me.

Well, this idea sure seems to make a lot of sense. I have hated my right hand retrieve reels for years and always seemed to revert back to my spinners. I just bought a Revo LH retrieve a few months ago and now I'm kicking myself for not doing it ten years ago, it just seems so natural. Test that baby out and let us know if ya think she is worth a "flip!" Wink
