So, if I was to glue 20 more guides on a 7 1/2' Cenderi and slam my truck door on it...the extra guides will protect it from breaking?

Theres a difference in knowing how to make a rod and how to sell a rod.

It wasn't designed to be "good". It was supposed to be funny.

Well, that's because it's got $200 worth of guides on it.

Yes, IMO, Falcon knows how to build a rod.

Im not arguing, just sayin the reason falcon and duckett put so many micros on a rod is because there are people out there that think "the more guides the better."

I am also sold on micros, split grips, and fluoro line in certain applications. Not so much spiral wraps and eva. I was just saying its not necessary to put that many micros on a rod. I dont care what mid-level manufacturers are doing it.

Ooooooo ok.
But rod companies gotta sell new rods..... And if Rods never break people won't buy more.... Guess that's y the big companies haven't gone to spiral??
Lol
Jk

I just flexed all my rods.... None rolled to the side......
I c what ole boy is talking about.... But I think it's kinda trying to "re invent the wheel"

Seriously now Tim, what the guy in the vid says about the rods twisting makes "cents" to me, but, can you really see the conventional rod "twist" when he pulled down on the tip?

Another thing, after 9,000,000 years of the world fishing without this spiral crap......why is it so critical now?
