Hm,
I was researching the Microwave guides and looking for a video I have seen in some previous research. I came across a new reel design that folks might be interested in for the spinning builds of the future like anything I do not promote this site and I certainly don't endorse it. But I do think this has some application, science and concepts that could be applied to make a great spinning rod with this subject matter I have found. Judge for yourself and see what you all may brainstorm from this idea! Here is the link. [www.wavespinreel.com] Rick H. rwheil@msn.com Website [www.facebook.com] [home.comcast.net] Edited 1 time(s).

I placed a stocking order at ICASTand they should be in stock by this Thursday. We'll be offering a 20% introductory price for the first week . Lance Re: I found this in research for the Microwave Guide topics!

I've been using them since ICAST last year, and have 4 other builds that I have done that were sold with them, mine works great and I absolutely love it Ron Weber Re: I found this in research for the Microwave Guide topics!

Wasn't Doug Hannon instrumental in the development of the Microwave guide system? Re: I found this in research for the Microwave Guide topics!

There were a few issues that a gentleman I know had with his earlier models. Had something to do with distance casting really deteriorating after the 50-60 yd mark, but they improved the lip and sent him free replacements that helped some. He really likes the ability to unscrew the spool and just dump all his old line in the line recycling box without a mess. Re: I found this in research for the Microwave Guide topics!

Is it my imagination (usually a LOT more fun than my Reality any more . . . ), or did the guy in the WaveSpin video close the bail by hand after the cast rather than turn the handle . . . ?

It is said to close buy hand is the better way ???? Bill - willierods.com Re: I found this in research for the Microwave Guide topics!

This is a good video to show operation of a spinning reel. The picture is a little larger. Same technique used in the Wave Spin demo.
Note the position of the index finger while lure is outbound/lure falling - highly skilled bass fisherman use this trim technique to pin point targets. The index finger trim and manual bale close allows steady controlled vertical lure fall for desired duration before bale is closed and drag is operational. Very important for drop shot and shaky head use. [www.ehow.com] Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/29/2011 07:51AM by Bill Stevens. Re: I found this in research for the Microwave Guide topics!

Another reason for flipping the bail by hand is that everytime you flip the bail by cranking the handle you make one twist in your line. When you flip it by hand you eliminate that twist. Lance Re: I found this in research for the Microwave Guide topics!

Actually, when you crank to close the bail on most spinning reels, there is often a loop formed and reeled onto the spool so that on the next cast, that loop creates a birds' nest.
If you close by hand and then pull the line tight to the line roller or raise the rod tip quickly to eliminate slack, the loop and resulting birds' nest is eliminated. I always close by hand. But the Hannon reel is supposed to catch and hold the loop to prevent bird's nests, it's a different animal. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/28/2011 02:48PM by Gary Snyder.
