[yockman]

Hi guys,

Seem to be some very cluey guys around this site so.... is there a decent jig rod that works both as an overhead and a threadline? Talking about 200g jigs for kings etc.

Cheers,

Yock

hi Yockman

to have both is very difficult as most rod have a backbone, the blank only bends nice one way the other will break. Now in saying that i have heard that there is a rod that don,t have a backbone.

Also the difference in a over head rod the first guide /3rd guide is normally smaller so if you are running a threadline reel it chokes the line into the first runner if it,s to small,and casting will be effected and line tension will be on the first runner.
