Ok, well I guess i am just gonna write something, it cant hurt.
Since i already own a spiral stix from billy I can say that it is the best I have ever used, but again I havent really used high end poles, either. I like the way the whole process begins. Billy doesnt want you to email him, he wants to talk to you personally so he knows exactly what you want. The only problem I had in the ordering process, is that i didnt know what all options you have when ordering the stick. I missed out on getting titanium guides simply because I was not told about them when I ordered. I found out about the titanium guides after i had ordered mine, by reading other posts by Billy, but it was too late to get them by then. I definately would have got the upgraded guides if they would mentioned at the time. Let me assure you Billy, i am not upset at this. The rod you built for me is beautiful and works great. I get compliments on it everywhere I go with it. It is the smoothest casting and smoothest reeling, with a fish on the line pole I ever put my hands on. I also find that my arms dont get as tired from a full day of casting as I did before with my other poles.
I know you are all about customer service and it shows, but for the people who may not know a whole lot about the custom rod building process, you should try to upsale the hell out us and explain what each item can help out on. I know alot more about it now by reading you posts and now could tell you exactly what I want. I know if I'm spending money on something like this, I want the best and I will usually pay for the extras.
Overall great pole and great service
Thanks
John B.
