yeah..there is a "show" piece where 2 rods are used the same blank and the same reel seat ..same grip smae weight on each, ect....one acid one conv..they go into a rodholder like tube with ballbearings..which enable the to spin freely, the conv rod will be facing down,,which MAKES you spin the rod over and HOLD it steady..the acid is facing in the fighting position.all you do is rest your hand on the rod..NO TURING/ TWISTING/Just HOLDING STRAIGHT..
