I know after I spent some money on my rods and reels my fishing experience changed drastically for the better. Finding a rod and reels that your conformable fishing with is priceless.
Congrats on almost 80k, y'all stay true. I can only imagine how hard it is to come up new content. Very impressed with y'all coming out with your own brand with help by a great Florida rod maker. Please don't sell out.
I'vw been running a charter on Cape Cod Bay for over 40 years. A while ago i built a pair oif light action rods for 12 lb. test lead core line. I spiral wrapped them. It works great. Since then I've built a number of spiral wrapped rods for different methods of fishing we use. It is a great concept...
We use acid wrapped rods for bottom fishing halibut in ALASKA and they work wonderfully. Minimizes the rod rolling in your hand as you reel up large fish. Looks kinda weird, but works well. Think you’ll like it on your rods. 👍
I have a friend here in the Florida Panhandle that has a 9ft acid wrapped casting rod he paired with a Calcutta baitcaster that he uses for sight fishing Cobia every year from the pier. Damn most accurate casting rod and strongest I have ever seen. If memory serves the blank is also a Rainshadow. Great job Captains!!
Big Bottom fishing rod Heavy enough, Tough enough to reel in a Gale Force Twin on the end of the Line! LOL! Tested in Reel World environment approved by GFT! o,o
Any reason y’all have the guides spiraling to the right and not the left? I’ve heard you want them spiraling away from your reeling hand, but I’m sure it’s not crucial. Great video as always
Your rod had the guides spiral around to the right side (when looking up the rod) when you are using your left hand to hold the rod and right hand to reel? Other sources of slow pitch rods recommend have guides spiral away from side you are reeling. Is the direction critical or just personal preference?
So on spiral/acid wrapped rods, when the reel handle is on the right shouldn’t the guides roll to the left side of the pole? Left hand crank guides roll to the right. It helps in counterbalancing the twist. Rain Shadow have know that, unless it doesn’t really matter. I ask because I have two rods built that way.
That would make sense. I have one too but can't remember which way it twists. I think it's more of a gimmick though. The reasoning behind seems like a solution for a problem that doesn't really exists. I guess when was the last time you heard of someone's line breaking due to friction or something. Usually if a line is breaking it's a the knot or something the fish did not due to the friction on the line from the rod(or the guides really). A good rod with good guides is all you need.
Very, very, very good show. Very authentic and authoritative. You had command of the entire video. Excellent. You keep getting better. I can’t wait for your rods to come available. Stay blessed. And again, great to see you on the open water.
When I spiral wrap my rods I make the transition guides go to the left if it’s a right hand retrieve reel. And to the right if it’s a left hand retrieve reel. For me, it seems to balance better when you wrap the guides to the opposite side of the reels retrieval.
We sell these rods in New Zealand. We call them acid wrap rods. They are Japanese style very thin, used for slow pitch jigging, and heavier PE 5 to 8 for kingfish (amberjack) thanks for the video
We need to know if you have some rods that will break down for easy shipping to up here in Alaska. Need some heavy duty rods and reels for Halibut and King Salmon fishing.
Spiral wrapped guides are very common here in South east asia and Australia for many years now. carbon blanks are solid, Reinforced with x wrapped carbon mesh to eliminate warping and lateral movements😄😄😄
Hi hi ladies, Amanda is it easier for you to hold the rod that way? Do you have more holding power? I never seen it held like that. I am a small female with small hands and we know that fishing gear is not made for us so I try to find ways to compinsate in other ways. The largest reel I could use comfortably is the Avet Hx, I think I can go with the Avet ex30wide and that is it and I gust bought a spiral wrapped rod today the NJ fishing expo, hope it works great for me. Let me know if both of you ever make it to the NJ saltwater fishing expo in the future, you would bring in a big crowd for us women.
Congratulations on the Rods, super cool that you guys have your own signature series rods! Next you need a Gale Force Edition Boat fully set up how you'd have it. 👍
On your website it says that Amanda is right handed but to she looks like she fishes left handed. I prefer to control the rod with my dominant hand and do the cranking (control the reel) with my off hand. Is one way preferred over the other or is it just personal preference?
I was told that the spiral should always go opposite of the reel handle. Reel handle of right side on reel, spiral goes counter clockwise (looking from butt to tip) and likewise, handle on left side of reel spiral goes clockwise and this counteracts almost all torque.
Great tutorial. Wish the fish were landed 😁 Can we purchase these rods and sweat type of reel do you both use for jigging and bottom fishing. Setups sre awsone!
spiral wraps're the only way to go ... more so when fighting big fish, hard running fish. no wobbles, no more set up trying to jump/twist outta yer hands, no more tired wrists
You ladies prove every video that y’all are more than a pretty face. I appreciate the lack of bikinis. I enjoyed the fishing and your ability to put out a quality rod. If the price is in my budget I will have one. Great video I enjoyed it very much
I don’t have much offshore fishing experience so here is an off the wall question. Have either of you or a charter client ever gone overboard trying to bring in a large fish?
GFT - 80K Subscribers, Wahoo! Looking for a 9’ spinning rod, to cast live eel into the rocks for Northeast Striped Bass. Slower action with enough backbone to pull fish through a Boulder field.
good fish eat cook up right take small baru fish deep fri up 10 in fish baru dip egg flounder mix cornmeal old bay salt black pepper bait do eat them dig let good shark dait crab bait use catfish bait eat small baru fish let go big one baru ?!
These are old news rods. They are junk and break more easily. They defeat the purpose of the rod backbone. Just copied techbfrom my buddy in Australia from over 5yrs ago

My aunt has been making custom rods like this for decades. She would wrap them depending on if you were lefthand or righthand.

About to say this. You want it to twist away from reel hand or twist to the opposite side of the handle
Definitely one of the most unique fishing rods I’ve ever seen, but the science behind it does make sense
Lol acid wrapped rods have been around since the 80s. There’s a reason why it hasn’t caught on. Because it’s a gimmick with normal sized blanks
Can’t wait to have access to the rods... hurry hurry..lol
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I learn so much !!! Good job Amanda !!
I love the idea of the spiral wrap!!
You two bring joy to fishing

@@brianlb78 it's definitely not a gimmick. A big bottom fish will torque you out, so the guides acid wrapped to the left will help correct that.

Same here I was also wondering that as well
Yes don't forget if you crank right handed you spiral guides go the left. And vise versa. Good video you two.
When your rods become available, will we be able to choose our own colors, or are they stock/default your colors only?
Congratulations on the new rods.they look awesome...tight lines always an keep up the good work
Great rod information. Great fishing.
8:01 LOL at the background music.
Awesome! Can't wait to get that pre-order email. Maybe I can get one for our trip on Yankee Capt in May :) Way to go ladies!
We called these "Acid Wraps" 10 years ago. I've been building rods thsi way for years & caught a lot of flack for my twisted rods..................
Ha Ha that was some fun watching ! goofs ;)
Doe the spiral wrap help not having to move your thumb back and forth. Like if you were to have a level wind. ?

Is that rod and reel combo for sale?....if not what will u recommend...im about to start fishing offshore. Thanks
Congrats, ladies.
I have spiral wraps on a tuna rod and also on a bottom rod with a blank from rainshadow called The Judge
Amazing ROD for fishing...👍👍👍
Great video! I just went carp fishing today have you ever tried it.
I think you should call that rod the Ultimate Force
The new rods are looking sharp
Ladies I would like to wish y'all a Happy woman's day today on the 8th of March God bless love y'all my friends ❤️
What ever happened to the production at Rainshadow rods? Do you still have the prototypes? Thanks Sarge
I was told that the spiral should always go opposite of the reel handle. Reel handle of right side on reel, spiral goes counter clockwise (looking from butt to tip) and likewise, handle on left side of reel spiral goes clockwise and this counteracts almost all torque.
This
right hand left wrap, Left hand right wrap! why not put some steel leaders when fishing around toothy swimmers? great video as always, thanks.
Big crush on Emily, I love her mannerisms:)
Does the spiral guide goes to the right on the Slow pitch rod??
I only use these acid wrap style rods. They provide much more leverage
Gail force+googan squad= googan force
Great tutorial. Wish the fish were landed 😁
Can we purchase these rods and sweat type of reel do you both use for jigging and bottom fishing. Setups sre awsone!
Great job Girls !
spiral wraps're the only way to go ... more so when fighting big fish, hard running fish. no wobbles, no more set up trying to jump/twist outta yer hands, no more tired wrists
Yesssssssss
Saw you were using the accurate tern on the slow pitch, what pound braid were you using???
Is there going to be bait casting rods
Our collection is growing!! :) We will spinners and conventional for multiple uses!
Hate you lost your favorite jig . Can you please let me know how much the heavy bottom rod cost. Thank y'all in advance
Are you not using roller tip-top guides?
Been around for years in OB Al.
What reel youre using on the rod?
I can feel my fish on your fish 😳
I would think that with this spiral style rods, there would be some sort of resistance when casting your line out.
Can't wait for your new rods to become publicly available. I enjoy your instructional videos on boating techniques also.
good fish
Hi
Wow Nice Maam
📌
In normally, how long leader line used ?
You ladies prove every video that y’all are more than a pretty face. I appreciate the lack of bikinis. I enjoyed the fishing and your ability to put out a quality rod. If the price is in my budget I will have one. Great video I enjoyed it very much
Agreed!
I want them!
Opening line of this video = what i pray a woman will say to me one day lol but not going to happen 😅
Do you all plan to market those rods? If so, I want one! Or 5.
I've seen some of these types of rods before. They work but look weird 🤣
I don’t have much offshore fishing experience so here is an off the wall question. Have either of you or a charter client ever gone overboard trying to bring in a large fish?
Tell us about your. Boat. When you bought it. Where. What year. 1 st. Boat. 2nd. Boat. Or 3 rd boat
They have a video walk thru of it
Amanda, Emily love you guys #AFANALWAYS

poor Amanda .....( I hold left and crank right too.. but it's because of a bum shoulder. )
ladies with right spiral wrap you should use a left handed reel
ever heard of shimano ?
I love you amanda gale
The fish you caught, barracuda? Impressive teeth if you could extract the larger fangs they would make for some interesting jewelry
The way yall are going your going to have to hire a camera person
Future TV stars the Gale Force Twins coming soon to a Television Show on some channel somewhere sometime Hopefully!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man you guy's need an electric reel for deep dropping where are the sponsors? 😉😉
Eat that cuda! So good!
I've been building "Acid Wrapped" bottom rods for over 12 years. Much easier to fish when the blank is loaded. Oh, how they laughed...
Sounds like you two took a few physics classes
Never seen a rod like that.
There is absolutely nothing new about the way those guides are wrapped. I had my first spiral wrapped rod in 1985.
The rods should be wrapped to the left for those reels🤦🏽
This is not a new design, I bought spiral bass rod in 1982. Sorry to bruist your bubble!
They only have been out for 25 years
Yikes alps grip is bad for rods.
There’s no science behind it that type rod creates to mean pressure points a regular rod has one pressure point

Just a gimmick.
