Very feasable. I've been doing it with all LSG 3.5's for about 2 years now. It makes a great rod.

I've been reading some on the micros, but haven't tried 'em yet. From what I've read, Steve and Bobby are both using them, but in a very different guide set up. My question, and I'm just looking for opinions, is do both on top/spiral setups work ~equally well in all applications...is there times when the on top would be more effective than spiral and vice versa. I know, wrap some and see is the best answer. Jerry

It looks like the Vol. 11-5 edition will address my question! Talk about timely. Look'n forward to it. Jerry
