[cool]It was a passing fancy. I had a couple of spin sticks I was quite fond of. Again that would have been the early 80's. Parted with them on a bit of horsetrading with a friend who fished tournaments and just had to have my custom wrapped wormin' rods. Won a couple of good tourneys with them. I kinda wish I had them back a couple of times. Super light and super sensitive for touch fishing.
I think I mentioned that I had rewrapped my eight footer a couple of times. In one incarnation, it was a extra long spin stick for fishing flies on spinning gear in streams. I put a sinker on the bottom and one or two droppers up. Used it on the South Platte, above Denver, for some big rainbows and browns in heavily fished waters. I really appreciated the length and the feel for that kind of fishing. When I got back to bass and bluegill country, I stripped off the spinning stuff and dressed it back up like a fly rod. Fastest fly flinger in the west.
