I should have known that you would make your rods. You make everything else. You are an amazing man.
Most of my spinning rods are 6 1/2 feet long. My favorite for sensitivity is my 721 Loomis rod. I use that for most of my jigging. I would own more Loomis rods if I could afford them. I also like my St Croix spinning rod but it is a two piece rod and I think you lose some sensitivity with a two piece rod. Do you save money by making your rods or do you just do it to get a rod that works better for you? Where do you purchse the components? (Whoops! Here I go again.)

P.S. Thank you for sending me the pictures to guide me through the process of making the jig spinners. I am a little concerned about making the loop at the end of the wire after all of the spinner components are put in place. But I will figure it out with practice.
