'power jig' rods
Submitted by Aaron FNQ on Mon, 2010-02-15 20:11
anyone used or seen a powerjig rod in action. they look very similar to the jm powerspell. and their site powerjigfishing.com has vid links to jm gear in action. id love to know because they have just become available in Cairns. similar range to the jms also.

geez...the guy in the vid
geez...the guy in the vid doesnt seem to know how to use his gimbal and struggling to fight the fish comfortably. That rod looks uncomfortable as well.... ie reel seat is very high up.
From what I can see they seem like close copies of the JM rods and gimbals, even the T-bar knob is nearly the same.
The JM vids links are not part of their website, rather Youtube's related vids links.

I saw one yesterday, the way
I saw one yesterday, the way the ali bit is chamfered to show you the blank on the skeletonised rod grip, its like a cheesegrater for flesh. I think they got a bit caught up in making it look cool. I don;t know how close a copy the jigs are, but they look very close.
