On a serious note, that is really sad Ben
It does confirm though that you can work a sinking stickbait with anything!
You're right Mark, plus sinking SB are no brainers to work, with eyes closed, burn it or sweep/pause/twitch.
Next, I may try it out as a "long stroke" jigging rod, but don't know if I would be setting myself up for a broken back should a 40Kg doggie come along, now that the rod has "broomstick" flex.
Thanks Pete for the GoPro mount idea.
Imagine how a rod like this would be written in Kanji and then using google translate to engrish:The TB 710/50
"The Backbreaker" Many average GT fisherman ask for broken rod to float medium GT with difficulty. I say yes!
Even small GT your back be broken when lifting small GT.
Many ask,
"I don't want to cast far", I present the TB 710/50! With much strength or even
"throw fluffy" your lure will fly near you.
If you don't want to buy many lures, use only sinking bait like Pandora I will give you the
TB - "Backbreaker".
Even if you try, other lures cannot be throw. That is how you save money.
For strong angler who want to feel old, the "Backbreaker" is for you. Floating small GT will feel like floating Tokara GT possible.
