Hi guys
i have been giving this some thought for a while and now it seems that it's time to unviel this new weird rod, it will be a spiralstix of course, i have been building them for years but it has been just when i get a customer that ask for one, but now it seems that they are catching on because this year acording to my records i have built 12 and currently have 2 on order, one of the reasos i think that i have done as well as i have is because i have sorta pushed the idea, and now there are 2 new truly cool reel seats avaliable to complete the job much better, now dont laugh when i tell you a baitcaster a sprialstix with no " trigger" there is now a reel seat with a contour hump that is designed for spin rods well i have taken 2 of these and build them spiral results were awesome, yes i know they will not be for every one, but they will be for you guys that cast all day, my plan is to pick a couple or 4 sponsors to build these for someone that will promise to evalute and give me and you an honest evaluwation on the comfort and castability, i already know what to expect so dont try to go south on me on this because i have 12 guys that already praise my work on these, i will order these seats this week and take photos to show you how they look, they are much better than the ones before.
If you have any coments lets hear them, i want feed back on this because they are coming.AND THEY DO WORK AND THEY ARE COMMFY

hey stix, that sounds funny not to have a trigger. i guess for me it would depend on what type of fishing im doing, i wouldn't feel commfy not having a trigger, like topwater or a jerk bait i would feel commfy with a trigger because of rod position @ 4 or 5 o'clock. now on the other hand a swiming bait or something u cast and reel back in where the pole is @12 to 2 o'clock i would feel commfy without a trigger. i think it could work really well. i would try it.

Us old guys like Billy and i can remember when casting rods didn't have triggers. Not that i ever fished w/ one .(not quite that old)
I'm sitting here looking at a triangle shaped fiberglass actionrod w/a Miles bay casting reel from the late 40s /early 50s and it has a pot metal / cork handle w/ a spring loaded reel seat. It has a trigger. but i have seen earlier rods w/o triggers

IF I HAD NOT ALREADY FISHED THIS SPIRAL MY SELF WITHOUT THE TRIGGER YEARS AGO AND GAVE IT IT'S MERIT I WOULD NOT BE GOING TO MY CUSTOMERS WITH IT, AND BESIDES WHEN I INTRODUCE IT I WILL STAND BEHIND IT, WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN BILLYSTIX CUSTOM RODS SAYS "I WILL STAND BEHIND IT" IT MEANS I DONT GIVE YOU NO SHI# IF YOU AINT HAPPY I DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO MAKE YOU HAPPY AND YES I WILL DO JUST WHAT YOU JUST ASKED YOURSELF.

stix, ur words r true. i said the same thing about the SPIRAL rod i bought from swamp land rods. it was a great rod till i broke it. i really like ur words "I WILL STAND BEHIND IT" it shows ur dedication.i can't wait to get my Billystix custom SPIRAL rod from u. the first time i saw ur custom i wanted one, but the bank wouldn't let (the better half) u know how that goes.like i said im willing to try it.
