You lose shock absorbance when you hook up a fish if you were using a very powerful, short and stiff rod that was tapered quite quickly, as opposed to a rod that's just as powerful but more parabolic. Fortunately there are no jig rods that are short, powerful and unnecessarily stiff that I can find.



Sure you're not talking about Strikezone with Al McGlashan?

I've got 2 exeptional blanks which would make the ideal Kig stick, you wont find them anywhere but not into jigging so couldn't be bothered building them up



Yep that was who I was waffling about much better show than the dud 1st wun

Spear the menu is a different show all together

Watched that Mal McLassie show this arvo
They were chasing SBT off Bermi, think he had a stiffy all day cause he didn't even attempt any of that poor humour he allways attempts

Was a bit surprised by his comments that it was the best days fishing he'd had cause in my books days like that are very common when the fish are about maybe he was refering to jumping in water to film them buggered if I could make him out.

Underwater footage was not pretty good but nothing you cant see on a no wind day looking @ the tuna in your burley trail

Anywun watch that David Attenborough show last night think it was called Deep Blue ?????????

That has got to be sum of the best underwater footage of Marlin/Tuna feeding that I've seen

Back on the Strikezone show again it's my tastes but cant say I liked the action of the game rods they were using very soft for the line class & alot of hard work if a fish were to plug down deep

I saw a couple of minutes of that deep blue show right near the end Jumpy, did you see the squid swimming backward & forward using their little side fins?
Reverse thrust indeed. HaHaHaHa!

That was the lithiam crystals powering up the turbo thrusters Fed

The wittle squiddys do that just B4 they engage Warp Drive & disappear into Hypospace

Now that sounds more like the NCC-1701 NOT the Harrier JJ as you were describing last week.

Yeah !
Well if my grandmother had wheels she would've been a wagon wouldn't she

Actually watch Adventure Bound 2nite

And for the life of me couldn't work out how in hell that Andrew Chappy was out gunning that Lee Chappy fushing for Reds in Mexicoland

Personally I think the Andrew Chappy has been doing a sneaky sneaky visiting ozstyle & stealing all my secrets.

Cause there was the evidance right in front of my earsight, those hu watched the show would've noticed 2 drinks on the baitboard the Lee Chappy had a girly drink a bloody Pepsi of all things

Where as the Andrew Chappy had a bottle of

Actully it was wun of their better shows, that's the sort of snappa fushing I enjoy both the Chappy's got it spot on when they explained there is no need to ever strike @ a fush when it takes the bait, mind ewes they did put emphasis this method used on circle hooks but I've found same method on non circle hooks

I think that Lee chappy is good and he makes a difference

Big difference I said that from the start

Rest of them are pretty much cowboys esp on big fish sum of the things they do is utter nonsense

I wish they'd turn off their clickers while they're fighting a fish.
