Default Re: Custom Tuna Rods

EP Gary-

Just FYI...

The "new" thing in bluefin fishing in New England is to use bent butt rods fished in a swivel rod holder. When a fished is hooked the rod is never removed from the swiveling holder simply fought from that gunnel mounted rod holder.

Is it less sporting than a Murray Bros. fightin' chair? Yeah, but there are no sportfisherman when it comes to the New England bluefin fishery.

Seems the rods that are a bit longer would be a real advantage!

Thanks for the info!
