Sammy0884 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hey Guys, I added the final touch to the 80lb jig stick today, a shimano torsa 30, loaded up to the hilt with 80lb fins braid. As you can see in the pics Tony has matched the rod components exactly to the torsa! it looks better in real life! Hoping to get a bend in it this coming week.
johnno Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Sammy as always looks great Tony has done a fine job once again i hope it is blooded soon

TheDiko Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Hey James, I am running a 100lb Goodger/Shogun wind on. Ever thought of making them yourself? It's much cheaper and only takes 5 minutes to make IFS
Sammy0884 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Posted July 21, 2007 Ever thought of making them yourself? It's much cheaper and only takes 5 minutes to make IFS Never bothered to look into it really.... how is it done?
TheDiko Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Never bothered to look into it really.... how is it done? Well I can't find any internet sites on it but if you want I need to make up some more and I can post up some pics with instructions, maybe later this week. All you need is dacron, tooth floss, quick dry glue, very thin wire and your choice of mono or flurocarbon. Here is a site to how heavy your dacron should be according to the line test. http://www.tournamentcable.com/pgs/wind-on_tables.cfm IFS
wildfish Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 at the top of this link theres a link to making them! but im puzzled as to how the dacron holds to the mono! maybe the mushroomed end on the mono is the key?
abiasin Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 very nice bit of gear there mate, hope you christen it with a decent sized YFT
Penguin Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Sammy, looks good enough to make me go and get something similar penguin
Sammy0884 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Posted July 21, 2007 Very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Sammy, looks good enough tomake me go and get something similar penguin Tony has another rod sans torsa in the shop that was made up in blue, looks absolutley shit hot!

I can find sites on making them but they are very confusing and take a long time. There are no sites showing the way I make them is what I should have said. The dacron works the same way as the Chinese finger-trap does. The harder you pull, the harder it tightens. IFS
netic Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Nice outfit Sammy...im sure it will serve you very well
Reel Addiction Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Sammy how do you find it thumbing the line on while jigging. I am looking at getting a Torsa 30 also mate, but wasnt sure about the thumbing as i have never jigged with a overhead. Did you get the reel from tony. Cheers Iain
netic Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Iain...talk to Big Steve mate about jigging with the Torsa.......he will tell you all the cons..
