After the sucess of my spiral wrapped calstar s/b rod it looks like ive convinced Kojak to build a spiral wrapped jm400.Will it work with the mechanical jigging ???
I think it would be an advantage ...no side to side reel slap
Great under a load..
Guide spacings wil be different due to the braid being under the rod and no chance at all of braid touching the blank..
So whats the word,yah or nah

I have been thinking the same thing. I have a JM400 kit to build over the next little while. Glues, threads and finishes are arriving in a couple of days.

It will be interesting to see what some rod builders reckon...
