Hi,

I use a Lamiglas BT 103M for Bunker spoons. I cut the tip to a #14 and then cut butt to preferred length, about 7'6".
I use HNSG guides and a UST 12 (14.0) tip top. All are silicon carbide.
The longer the rod the more swish and sway you produce at the bunker spoon. I spiral wrap the rod.

For trolling an umbrella rig I use a Lamiglas BT 857 S blank, 7' long with all the same components as the Bunker Spoon rod.

fixing rods

Capt Neil"

I have a whole lot of fishing rods that need a whole lot of fixin. If I dropped them off at your place could you fix them ? Provided you dont charge me an arm and a leg.

Hi,

Good to hear from you.

In the interest of helping you, would you like to have your rods fixed closer to home, say Cape Cod? I have a fellow RodCrafter friend in East Sandwich. He does this sort of work, especially for the commercial guys up there.

If you would like, send me an email with a phone # so I can call you.

Hi,

Sorry for the mistake>

Sea Slug,

Thanks for picking up on that. I appreciate the help.

Hi
Capt Neil and Sea Slug Thank you for the help...still not sure if I have all the info because the lamiglas site does not have a BT just GBT.
Capt Neil do you have any fotos of a spiral wrap???
thanks again Frank

Hi Frank,

We will get there yet.

The BT1083M is listed under Fiberglas Boat/Trolling.

BT=boat trolling and is honey colored
BBT=black (color), boat/trolling
WBT=white (color), boat/trolling.

I will have some demo rods at the Winter Bash and "spiral wrapped" demos are included.

I am in Sayville. If you are near me or would like to come by give me a call. You will see several rods wrapped in that fashion. I also have a demo rod wrapped both conventional and spiral to show the benefits of a spiral wrapped rod as compared to a conventional rod.

Sorry but I do not have any pictures.
