Nice day out. 

Damn you! Now I really want one....

I broke the end off my jigging rod (actually charter shipper boke it trying to release a fish), had it repaired but its lost a couple of inch's from the tip and the action suffers.

Kev, they aren't on your website..have you still got 'em in stock?

Ragged Joe it's not the same with your end broken off mate!

I did it to a softie rod years ago and gave it to a kid in the end for bait fishing...

Yes thanks Kevin I still need some time to adjust to the change in action because I have been fishing my old rod once a week or so for a few years now..

My old rod had a shorter butt section and I had in fact added about 60mm to it which worked sweet.
However the even longer handle on the new rod is much better for me. I do have a longish arm.
It also means if you hold the base and use two hands to cast it will really send a lure.

It's a bit more buttery than my shorter rod but interestingly has more feel at the same time...hard to get used to.

It makes catching small fish more fun with the extra length and I I caught a couple of small kahawai to start the day and received more bend than my old rod and more feedback I wondered if it would pack up and go home on a large fish but no it did not!

It was a day to catch big fish on anything when it lit up so that was cool because my technique felt a little off with the change.

My mate had his boat over there and he tipped back a fish around 25lb and several other large fish caught on a scoot he made on a jig head.

Another friend has a picture to show me of a fish he estimates at 30lb he put back last night in the same place..

Anyway back to the rod so far.

It is now on the boat and my old one is home in the shed and that folks is saying a mouthful on the subject I reckon.

The only thing I would like is a hook keeper (which can get in the way for sure) and the fore grip one finger longer up the rod which may affect bend as I see most modern rods are tending this way?

Its fine if I hold my pinky on the reel seat so no big deal at all.

I bet I get to really love this thing when I get it synced up.

Thanks much Kaveman.

Nice Fish'n and releasing Garry! New gear sounds mean! Good to see beaut fish still there after been hammered the Comms

Absolutely amazing rods!! It’s like you cast the softbait or micro and it just goes and goes and goes then finally lands. Love the longer butt too. Makes the fighting easier
That’s an awesome report Garry
