and Im out of here. I mean the bend starts in the foregrip area, and that is usually a weaker area in most rods.

Amazing bend in it.

The smiths seem to do that, bent right from the butt area. Chrisps AMJ does the same and recall seeing a video Kasey with an AMJ52EX on a big sambo looking like it was gonna snap at the grip.....but they don't. Sweet rods.

You cant half tell he is happy with the rod with that mega grin on his face. Or was it the fish. What pulled it down like that?

I recon if bakers got 10kg you'd have a pretty damn hard time stopping them. They go mighty hard for their size.

 

So what model smith was it?
