What?...Fishermen dont fish technique specific applications the same way!!?!!....Well that's queerer than a football bat!!

Seriously,I dont count little rod raises or lowering as tip up/down...Just how the rod is position throughout most of the presentation.

Like I said,Its just my preference on when I spiral vs when I dont compared to how I fish and work a bait,and how my rod setup responds to that.

I do strongly encourage trying one if you ever get the chance...I know several guys that spiral all their rods regardless of what its for and swear by it.


Oh and for the original topic....Micro guides kick ***.

I have this recurring nightmare where I open up my cardboard tube from Walker, and he's done my new rod in spiraled micros....

I always wake up screaming.

Oh, and by the way, I always fish a spinnerbait with the rod sideways....just like any other reaction bait.

Funny....the only baits that I fish dead ahead, straight line from bait up the line, straight up the rod are soft plastics/jigs and a spinnerbait. I suppose its just something carried over from youth and I've never stopped to ask myself why. On the other hand I would never work a crankbait or topwater etc any way but sideways.
*edit* after some reflection I seem to prefer pointing the rod tip at most baits with a single hook and sideways with any bait with trebles
