Twilli tip and powerpro?

[melsell]

I am converting my wire dipsey to a shorter rod so I can run a wire and braid on the same side.So now my long rod has a twilli on it.So the question is will this mess up my powerpro?

No the the twilli spring will not damage it. I run a twilli on a copper rod with a fireline backing and haven't had any issues.

I dont know how short you plan on going but the longer the better when your talking wire mine are 10.5 fotters no stretch what so ever nothing gives on a wire rig except for the pole so you need alot of pole to take up the shock.

I agree with this...

I was thinking 7 foot rods(thats what i have).I want to run my power pros as high divers on tens.Should I be running both ten foot rods?Then just stagger the dipsey settings?

I run 7ft rods for my wire lines, 8.5ft rods for long lines. I haven't had any issues with them. It is harder to land a fish with a 8ft leader with a flasher/fly combo

Shorter rods for the low diver. 8' is nice, but the 7's will work.

What is a twilli spring?
