Exactly D, thats the beauty of the acid wrap. You can build it with the backbone up for lifting power, then transfer the load to the bottom of the rod for sensitivity. Before you had to chose one or the other and modify with length or taper of the rod. These are not for every application and seemed a like a gimmick to me, but certain fisheries are gulping the kool aid on them.
You can have the lifting power and action in a lighter package. Granted, I've never fished with one, so all this is what I've heard and read. Let's wait a week or two and see what the field tester's report says. |

A guy I fish with has one and he's happy with it. I first saw it last year and it looked pretty cool. My funds are limited, so my regular old rods will have to do.

Still waiting on an update. Is the stick any good or is it just hype?

I finally got to use it and believe it or not I really like it, along with my Avet. I was surprised, I thought it would be a problem, none at all. I was calling it the JINX STICK, because every time I wanted to use we cancelled due to the weather. I've only caught big Porgy's with it so far, I want to wait and see how it handles something bigger,
right now I don't see a problem at all. ![]() ![]()
