MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I could see it being spiral wrapped if it was a bait casting rod and reel. Cant see point of building a spin rod for ice fishing that way? Not like casting accuracyhas any importance on hard water. Me thinks you got a rod built by someone in a hurry. You can find too many assembly line rods In stores with an eye or 2 out of whack. I inspect all mine before buying. Tough buying rods online.
The rod is a 13 Fishing Wicked UL 27
I was over at Suds and Soda today. Tim Moore of Tim Moore Outdoors was there, so I mentioned my rod guides. He told me guides get out of true on new graphite rods fairly often. It has more to do with temperature than craftsmanship. He suggested I warm up the rod and twist it back into shape.Sure enough, set the rod under a ziplock bag filled with hot water for 15 minutes. Twist. Fixed.Nice guy. Suds and Soda should be getting ice fishing gear in mid December.
