Hi guys
Looking for a good picture of a spiral wrapped rod. Want to show a customer to try and talk them into it. Rings guides Any links ?
Thanks

RMM-8(2): "The SIMPLE SPIRAL WRAP: The BUMPER SYSTEM"
The 2 photographs and the 2 illustrations tell it all.
RodMaker Magazine Volume-8, Issue #2, pages 16-17
Author: William "Bill" Colby [RMM-8(2)]
Back issues ($7 each) available at www.rodmakermagazine.com

Unfortunately, I am unable to recommend a particular *JPG or *.GIF file. Search the RBO PhotoGallery for a photo that you like.
Keyword = Spiral or Bumper. -Cliff Hall+++

Thanks Cliff, I don't have that issue on the bumper, but found a couple of articles and pictures on the net. This is the second rod for this customer . Wants some thing different ?

Bill - This is the 2nd rod for this customer? - He sounds ready for the net to me. Spend the $7 up front and get the RMM-8(2) Back Issue ASAP. You will recover the price of the magazine on the very next rod you sell, Bill. AND THEN you will have the Article & its photos & diagrams at your service to convince the next customers that traffic your way that a Bumper Wrap Spiral Rod is the only way to go. ... Don't let the line go slack ! ... "Salesmanship" is the word for 2006, Bill. Get this guy in the live-well before he finds something else to do with his fun money. Once he has fished his new Spiral Rod a couple of times, he'll be back to have all his old conventional rods converted to Spirals. And you'll be there to do it. On the first rod you will profit over 10 times the $7 price of the back issue. Stop counting "pennies" and start counting the "pounds". Best Wishes, Bill, ... -Cliff Hall+++

What kind of pic are you looking for, Bill? I've got one done in the shop. I could take a pic; send it to you?? Email me at work tomorrow...

Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it..

I had search the net and photo page and am surprised there are not more good pictures of them. I finally found a few looking along the rod with it bent, and a fare article and sent it
I am also hoping the Titan guides stand up. I am building several rods with them ?

Also used that Thread Master. Nice, flows well, almost idiot proof ?

Stuck the picture on the photo page.

Is this what you're looking for? Don't let the filename fool you - it's a pic of a Bumper wrap.

Bill, you've really set yourself up with that "almost idiot proof" comment and I'm trying hard not to take the bait here...

Hay come on Putter ??!!
I only meant that comparing it with other finishes, it went on nice, I saw a boo boo and thought I would have to take care of it on a second coat. A little while later it was gone ?? Maybe just a bubble? Still have to find out what Quirks it has. But nice. My place is cooler also.

LOL!! Biting my tongue, still...

Say what you have in your mind Putter. At least I will know where you are coming from.
hay if one can not be honest - they can not be anything.

Nothing about being honest or not, just about ribbing someone cuz they left themselves open for it; LOL!!
