Does anyone have a photo they can post of a trolling rod, guides on top, under load that shows the tip and some of the guides near the tip starting to twist and torque due to downward pressure? Looking for this photo to put next to a spiral wrap photo to make a point.

Thanks
Buzz

How big of a load?

enough to make the tip section an first guide or two twist out of the "on top" location to facing down toward the water......

Cabela's used to have a photo of their Whuppin' Sticks showing exactly that, they still may be using it.

Buzz,
Out of curiosity, do you have any light action casting rods where you could duplicate the condition that you are asking about?

no Roger I don't. All of my casting and trolling rods in the shop are spiral wrapped................ Spencer I searched Cabelas and found that model in a spin rod but not in a trolling rod under load.
The search continues............

did you try google images for trolling rods, may not be a good enough pic there, but you might get lucky

yup tried that too.............

Buzz,
I have a light action downrigger rod in a commercial conventional wrap. I will put a reel on it and simulate your wish and see what happens.

Be safe

Not very good but.....
