    Anyone ever use one of those JB Custom Rods?

    These are the ones where the casting rods have the guides spiraling around the blank. Suppose to give you greater casting distance and more sensitivity. Looking for some pros and cons with those that have used them.

    Never used their rods, but am familiar with spiral wrapped rods. It's the micro guides that give you the added sensitivity and casting distance....not the spiral wrap itself. The spiral wrap makes a huge difference during the fight....less torque generated on the blank. Will do some research on these rods...looks like they have a good following

    I've got a 6'6" crank bait rod that is IMO the best crankin rod I've ever owned.Ive even used it for trick worms (no weight) in weeds and grass and caught 5/6 lb. fish with no problem. this rod is 7 yr.s old.

    You might want to run your questions on the NC Bass Club board. There are a lot of guys over there that use JB Custom rods.
