ChrisE Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Line dancer I'm sure that you could knock one up fairly easily. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Looks good! I think I'd put an extra eye on the rod to achieve it, and use a hacksaw and file to open the eye smoothly and allow it to be engaged for retrieving, and disengaged for casting. I think anything else would be cut through by the line abrasion over time. Something to think about! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Looks good, I like your idea Mike, off out to the shed to sort through my spare rod eyes. I'll have to sort out a fixed spool reel though, as it obviously doesn't work with a multiplier. Edited February 10, 2012 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used snips then Brian. ! ! ! ! You could have grated cheese on my hands a few years back but now I've got my little office job, they're easy pickings for sharp edges like that.
