Hello Captin Neil, it's Andre, you buit me that rod from a 9' lami e-glass discontinued blank this past summer. I love that rod! As you might remember, I bought a 12' 6" lami blank # GSB 150 2MH, and after the season, I'm going to bring it to you to wrap. My question is about a spiral wrap. Why would you use a spiral or roberts wrap? Will a roberts wrap decrease distance in casting? Is a roberts wrap practicle for a 12' 6" rod capable of casting weights from 6 to 16 ounces? Last question, what does a roberts wrap look like? Thanks for the info. See ya soon.
