    Knowing ReelMech as I do, I'll lay you 50 to 1 odds that it fishes even better than it looks!

    thats the plan RedLine  ;D.... i did get a chance to stop by the local corry ,,, just to toss a jig and see how she was .....  i wasnt really fishing or expecting to catch any ,,, we just had ice out last week .... the water here is real cold .....  anyway back to the rod ,,, wow she is a keeper .... i loved the feel of the rod .... she handled the jigs nicely ( 3 different jigs and sizes ) ....  im more and more impressed with this rod ....  ;D

    Mike,

    Thanks for the kind words.... :)

    If your impressed with the way I setup that conventional, then you should be fishing one of my Spirals.

    Maybe next time... ;)

    NO! It's perfect! Leave it alone!  ;D

    I checked out Reel Mechs site a while back, the rods look great. Now how can I hide one from my wife?  :-?
