I just wish I could take Flint with me when I go fishing but to be honest he's 5 years old but he's a typical Springer he thinks he is still a pup. He's mad as a hatter he car'nt sit still for longer than 2 minutes and if he's near water then there's no chance of keeping him out of it. I don't think I'd be very popular with other angler's with him running around diving in the lake every chance he got.

Basically any tube will have a plane which it ''likes to'' bend on Building on this, the spine as it's called, will improve a rods performance no end, mainly casting accuracy thing but also the feel is better and far less twist I don't accept non spine built rods any more Most of the big manufacturters will rubbish the importance of it for a simple reason - they can't be bothered to do it Daiwa's upper range of rods is built in the UK, on the spine. They are the only big manufacturer which bothers. You're looking at Whiskers and above. I have a pair of Whiskers as my spare rods and they are very good
