Re: Awesome rod builder
I would recommend 200' monel (sic) instead of stainless wire. Your depth spects are correct for large bunker spoons at working speed.
Just a little input. I got rid of my wire line stuff. In my opinion that tackle is just too heavy, although effective. I prefer lighter tackle and diving lures like the stretch 25's or 50's. The trade off I feel is worth it.

Re: Awesome rod builder
AH! to each his own I say, but I like lami's bt857s for wire..[custom] 3/0 penn, 300' sst wire, 21/2=3oz jigs, 27- 40'. penn/seeker store bought r fine with carb guides, but here again their NOT BRACED which means they go ca-put after one season, I know I've repaired enough of them.
$200.00 for a custom wire stick...tell that guy $149.00 an not 1 cent more. he must want a new boat.

Re: Awesome rod builder
Scott - Shimano bought Loomis a few years ago and has changed their path ever since. Used to be that the custom rod builders and and rod building supply shops could work with you on prices for those blanks and you could get something good done. Sadly, Shimano pushes a LOT of price fixing and they've pushed that policy down to Loomis too. Now it's only a LOT harder to get Loomis blanks to build how you want but they are more expensive too and very few deals to be had...
I hate when that happens...
