if a rod lives up to fly's abuse then its A+++

ive heard the stories of past rods exploding!

i like the shorter rods for twitching. only drawback is lack of a loaded up rod to keep the hook in when using barbs, but not that big of a deal in my experience.

i'd prefer something in the 7'0-7'9 range, like a mag bass or "popping" blank, rated around 6-15, or 8-17. i've been using spinning reels, but maybe a levelwind setup would be the ticket for some real pinpoint casting accuracy.

they're almost all 1 piece rods. At 7-7'9" they can be annoying to transport without a boat.

They are one piece and that is what makes them so much better then there 2 piece longer counter parts....just one less weak spot in the rod and when your me you need that...........

Peace

I think his ass still hurts from his recent meeting with Karma(and LEO's)..I imagine he has upped his working hours..

I do remember him talking about how the shorter rod works better, and the reasons why are also talked about in a great post by "keta" on this site from several years ago, easily laid out info in sections....almost like it was for a tape or dvd series...

I had one made after fishing Fly's twitching rods.. Great rods!

The only problem I found is the damn spinning reel ... Constantly throwing up against brush, grass, under trees, I personally prefer the control of a bait caster...

I had mine made casting and put a revo sx on top of it and I can toss just as far, in tighter, and compensate with my thumb in the case of a professional over run may be about to occur..

Love this rod.. did I need it to twitch jigs? Hell no, did I need the other 12 + gotta have rods in the rack...nope

More money than sense... twitchen rod is for you : )
