Thanks for the update Kiel! Wouldn't mind getting myself an s86m also.
Curious about that lure too...

and i read somewhere that it has a nice tip for working stickbaits and Fukui San was casting sea frogs
and another pencil popper with it as well. Looks like it might be a good all purpose rod for guys like me
looking for something to cast a mile and a half from shore.

Very few anglers in the world can come close in achieving the casting distance of Fukui-san is capable of , he is afterall a field tester of Shimano hence in official records , he uses Shimano products .

You are very right Jon. I watched all the available episodes of him fishing on shimanotv...Fukui-san is a casting god.... :o
For all those wanting to learn how to cast well WATCH AND REWATCH FUKUI-SAN!.. You might learn something.

Alex Gomez:
I have just brought one of these rods and can't wait to use it! I also have the newer version that is rated up to 100g. It will be interesting to see the difference between the two.

I'm new to stick baiting but although not carpenter or Ripple Fisher etc the BFT may be a good versatile rod.

We'll see......

Cameron Mundy:
Fukai-san could belt a lure out with a broomstick he has a remarkably powerful casting technique. He generally fishes a 8k with PE6  which helps a lot with gaining distance but the fact that he has forearms like Popeye and is in great shape doesn't hurt either.
