Default Re: Awesome rod builder

Deep ...you beat me to it !!!!

boat rods with the chrome plated guides. However, the wire will eventually destroy the guides and you will have to replace the guides altogether or just throw the rod out period.

The tried and true for wire line fishing is a rod built with carboloy guides. If your going to fish wire frequently, then this is the type of rod you should purchase. I have seen some "plane jane" wire line rods at some of the tackle shops for around $100 and wire line rods built by Penn(Sabre)and Daiwa for around $150.

Personally, I have built all of my own wire line rods because I can build them better, cheaper, prettier, and more durable than any of the commercialy available wire line rods.
