is this guy serious?

Heck yeah I'm serious ya mouthbreather..jus kiddin! Sounds like you got a pretty serious get up and I hear them bass pro winches are made in the orient where they still make them by hand!

Best get rid of them centralfrugal brakes and install some rare earth magenets to create a killer electromagnetic field of forgiveness around your whirling spool. I'd say that you could try some of them Neodymium magnets, but use at your own risk!!!

seeing as i intend for this to be a jig/worm rod, Im not really interested in increasing the casting distance... I will just lose the power of my hookset.

Not really. A lot of ways around that. Flouro or braid with a leader.

Stopped by Legacy Wed. and got the last Curado 200 E7 - lots of E5's left . Seeing how my birthday is monday I got a Quantum Energy PT E860PTxm in like new shape from the used case for $70 also . Probably be awhile before testing the new Shimano but I already have one E860PTxm and really like it so it was a no-brainier . Anyone care to guess when we can go ice fishing ?
