Prototypes 1-3
Spent an hour today casting and assessing three prototype finished rods and build kits. Need to tweak the last few inches of the tips (a little soft, I think), as well as the power low down in the butt sections (they’re strong, but they also cast an SA ED Sharkskin like a shot). Also need to adjust the tip-tip and first guide sizing (trying a slick set of elevated single-footers that I so far like, but sizing requires some special attention). These rods aren’t mine, but hopefully they’ll be fully tuned for an OEM client by the end of the month.
Hi JB,
What’s an “ED” Sharkskin line? Experimental Design?

John—Realize that I probably shouldn’t abbreviate quite so much… “ED” is Expert Distance. In this case, the 120-foot ED Comp (competition, that is). Loud, eye-searing, and goes like lightning if given proper “encouragement.”
