How can you prove to a fisherman that a rod is more sensitive than another rod? Is there any real test or proof to do this??

The stress on the tip must be greater because the tip top ring always wears first and more than the guides do.

Why would it cost $1.19 to get a return reply letter when it only costs .44 cents to mail a letter normally? This does not make ssense.

Here is what it really says---- UP TO A 30% INCREASE IN CASTING DISTANCE!. That is for the reel. I have no idea about the guide. But I got no extra distance over my reguilar Daiwa spin reels in the same size.

They said the Wavespin reel would add distance to your cast. I bought one and it did not add any distance at all. No difference and I measured closely on a number of cast sets.

You get the same thing in graphite by using a heavier line. They rate graphite for lighter lines for the same power and that is why they feel stiffer. But they only feel that way. If you overline by one or two they will load the same as glass rods do. Try it sometime.

Why not just buy what you need from them now? Doubt they are set up to sell from the show unless you are there. Could be a hassle to do that as busy as they will be.

Where are you located?? The rod builders expo has blanks for half price or less so you can get name brands at deals that you normally could not.

You do not to spine at all but you can do it if you want. Do each piece and then align them and put assemble them. I would go ahead and do the butt section .
