the reel on those jiggler rods looks a lot like those swedish palm rod reels. Looks like you could rig something up just by removing the short rod thing and gluing a long blank in there. Not sure if those swedish palm rods are cheap chinese plastic junk though.

I'm interested in what blank you would use. Doesn't the line run through a hollow blank on those jiggler rods?

yes, right through the middle and through spring bobber. fun fishing with the one i have, but would like to make my own custom ones. just can't find reels to work like the "jiggler" rods.
