A local guy who dabbles in rodmaking advised me to think about it some more before I make a decision. He didn't want me to rip into the rod and then regret it, I guess. So ...

Thank You! I'll set about working on the rod this weekend. This will be my first spiral wrap, and I figure it will be VERY interesting! ;) Jim

Good evening. First post. I have a bass crankbait rod for lures 3/4 to 1 ounce (St. Croix Mojo BassGlass, 7'-04", MH/M) but under heavy load the line rubs the blank. Personally, I don't like that.
