It would probably be better to name the rod the Adventurer, as it’s a perfect rod for adventure fishing in any part of the world. It’s a stick that fits the adventurer’s mindset perfectly, as it embodies how we put our lives on the line in the type of fishing we do.

ILarge makers can’t mimic this “irregular” special design. Firstly, for the kind of fishing adventures I do, a removable grip section is a must. At 5.9ft it’s short yet has an exquisitely long double handgrip. Because of these features it is possible to do full casts even with heavy lures, and dig in to battle massive fish that seem certain to beat anglers.

IAround the world the Devil Jerk fishing style (jerking the lure vigorously) is being widely utilized in most tropical fishing situations. Among many Japanese anglers this technique is often misunderstood, and it would be better understood to call it Devil Twitch Wind (twitching vigorously while retrieving).
Only experienced people will understand the utility and effectiveness of this technique.

IWhen fishing deep in the wilderness for six to eight hour days, what is the physical impact of constantly using this technique? What kind of rod would allow the angler to continue casting and retirieving this way so long without straining his hands and arms.

IA rod that not is short and stiff, but strong is hard to find, as is a rod that can effectively work 2-3oz. lures –one that can work big minnows in a sliding jerk pattern. One that can make a big minnow lure slide like it’s alive yet, also work normal size lures –all in one balanced package.

ITake the rod in your hand and you’ll be surprised at its light weight. This is not due to the blank being made flimsily. It’s actually made thick, but the point of balance comes right under the reel so that it doesn’t strain the hand when jerking the lure. You will instantly understand when picking it up the first time.

II was able to get the silhouette of my favorite Amazonian superstar fish, the peacock bass, imprinted on it.
