Vance's T702-7 Paired
with Abu Garcia 5500LC Line Counter Trolling Reel Spiral Wrap Trout-Salmon-Kokanee Rod I have been guiding for over 15 years, using custom made rods to get the maximum performance. I have combined several of the designs I’ve used into our new rod. This rod starts with a seven foot, one-piece, thin wall, E-Glass blank. It is cut into two pieces and a high quality spigot ferrule and post is added. This ferrule is used in high-end fly rods because of its strength and flexibility. What makes this rod unique from most other rods is the spiral wrapped guides. The middle three guides rotate the line from the top of the blank underneath, so that the tip of the rod is down like a spinning rod. Simply stating: When the reel is facing up, the tip is facing down. This allows the action of a spinning rod at the tip but the benefit of a casting reel. When the rod is loaded, this eliminates line rub on the blank that is common in casting rods. Custom rod makers have been making these for years. I feel this design is best for trolling and down rigger applications.

These rods are for the plug pullers, backtrollers, herring trollers and downrigger anglers that excel on the water by keeping it simple. The premise behind moderate action glass rods is simple: if you allow a fish to get a firm hold of your bait or lure, the result will be a solid hook-up. And most often it really is just that simple. New to the series is the CG 70 DR, the ultimate ultra-light downrigger rod for
Kokanee salmon. Traditional styling makes these rods all-around winners.
