Night time swordfish rod with TLD 50W, 60 lb mono. Short curved butt. CBSW54XXH gorilla or American Tackle AXST56XHS. Stand up fishing in a small center console.
Why not spiral wrap it with HBSG SIC guides? Quick 0 - 90 - 180 spiral? I'm stuck on a tip to use. Guides would only have to pass a bimini. Start with a 25mm, 10mm bumper and 12mm running guides? I'd like to give this a try but can't talk myself into it. Want to stick with ring guides. Might just conventionally wrap with HBSG's and at the most, a roller tip. Re: Spiral wrapped bent butt????

Why not just 0 - 180, and then a bumper guide in-between? Leave out the 90 transition and you should have a more durable rod.

That's what I was thinking. Was treating the "90" as the bumper I guess. Re: Spiral wrapped bent butt????

If you do, make sure you lay everything out prior to adding that Bumper/90. The static test should be done prior. The Bumper isn't a part of the normal guide spacing and shouldn't carry any stress distribution.

Agreed. I've had great success building e glass grouper rods like you are describing.... I think your article made me perfect it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
