I kind of going into uncharted territory here.
I'm thinking of putting some Winns on a center pin rod. question of the day. what size and which ones. I'm thinking the straight saltwater model for the front but which for the rear? give me some ideas for the set up.
Thanks

The fore grip is the important one imo. I make them a little larger diameter than other rods so my pinky hits the spool rim correctly. The rear grip doesn't do much of anything other than get tucked under an arm. I went so far as to split a grip on one just for something different. I did a decal and epoxy to add a little weight back on to not aggravate the tip heaviness.
