My Dave Yates special [Yatesy] a lot of half decent gear went into this little beauty Yatesy knows how to make a sexy rod that performs as well ... B)

A Turn around version

Mully and trolling special,,,love it to death

This is the most I have spent on a rod in my life and I got it mates rates $290 I know what its worth you can double it...

MULLY u know a lot more about fishing rods than i do, but i reckon i would have to be drunk as a judge to pay for a rod where the runners have been bound like that, so can u please explain the reasons behind it as i have never seen one like it.

Not really a silly question when first asked if I wanted this style I had no idea either now Im a changed man..

what it does is it helps reduce the torque on the rod and reel when battling big fish . Some other benefits from this design are rod stability, reduced line friction, line never comes in contact with the blank, and a increase in sensitivity.

I like the idea it has been around for about 75 years believe it or not, originally called a Roberts Wrap...

Hope this helps you out search roberts wrap and more will come up on the subject
