Don’t we wedge the rod handle between our legs anyway and use use our crotch as a fulcrum to work the rod to impart action on the lure? In that case, does being tip heavy really matter when using a lighter reel on a surf rod? I'm old, I use a rod holder belt when useing the big rods.10.5',11' and 12'. saves what's left of the galhunies.

Put the butt of the rod between your legs when you retrieve your lure, negates the need for perfect balance and the added stimulation to your junk may negate the need to the little blue pill later. Its a win, win! 2 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a win, win! Take one too many sudden hits will make it hard to keep that rod tip up. At least change your voice a little. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
