Mr Alexander all bent up

My latest and sweetest PE2 combo, Major Craft Alexander and Stella SW4000PG, getting a serious flogging on the weekend. There was another very strange combo at work on the weekend on my tug, but I will leave it to the master to post if he so wishes.

hope this works. here's a real bend. i was wincing , ready for the sounds of tortured graphite , but the little jig force came through again
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

About $300 odd I think, got a good deal through a mate. Very delicate, excellent feel, perfect for 80-100 g demersal jigging and pretty good for softies as well as it has a bit of extra length at 6' vs the 5'8 of the jig force. Rated at PE1.5-3 as per the jigforce but definately a PE rating below the jigforce.
