Re: Wtb wire line rods
Understood.. these do have alum. seats and slick butts.. but they are shorter and lighter than a traditional spoon rod.. I do have a couple heavier 7' I built.. which I had not planned on selling.. but since i sold my sw boat they not getting much use.. But they also have NiC guides not Sic..
fwiw..the reason I chose the former is that while Sic is harder and more resistant to wear, the harder material is also more "brittle" and less resistant to impact.. I never saw a grooved Nic, but have seen plenty of cracked Sic's..so knowing the way things get banged around in the boat.. I went with Nitride..difference in price didn't hurt either.. anyway..just something to consider in your search..
If you are interested in the 7 footers... I will look up the specs of the blanks and components, etc. and figure a price..
good luck!
