Guest Big-Banana Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Anyone know the paticular name of those rods which are an overhead but the guides swivel around and goes to a typical threadline rod? A mate had one for bottom bashing and had his made custom. Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent to use especially in the medium ranges of 4-15 kg. . I have a few and highly reccomend them for this style of fishing. more comfortable more responsive less cumbersome etc but the main aim is to minimize rod twist Rather than go into it in depth again If ken will permit I did an article at fishnet on them http://www.fishnet.com.au/default.aspx?id=234&articleId=578 Cost difference to a conventional rod is minimal if at all. The only difference is getting the angles right which can be a bit of a bugger. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And said they start at 450 and go up to 900 . But still intrested in getting a light outfit maybe 10kg for some big reefies. Excellent article, thanks for that. Your into making custom rods, do you think you could write me up a quote? Pm if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
