Where you need a bit more grunt, this rod is a beast, and I can see it being superb not only from boats and small craft, but for flicking lures and light gear from the shore
But many are later deactivated, abandoned or lost and continue drifting beyond the fishing grounds where they were released
The gear (silicone mask, surgeon's gloves, body skin suit) are cumbersome
You dont want to do either of these things as theyll damage the integrity of the line
No, I began collecting tiki stuff a little before that, when it was just reasonably trendy
For vertical bass fishing or drop shot techniques, we suggest a 6 foot 8 inch rod with a light action but a 7 foot rod works fine too
