I get the hint! Geeze
Well. You no longer have a 12wt, ha!
I have a 12, and a really stout one piece rod that was built as a loaner, that you could borrow. It comes with a reel and line.
I’m jealous

Yes! Thank you for noticing. @Nick Clayton happens to love pickled eggs more than just about anything. This one was pickled in pepperoncini juice and Tabasco and had a nice neon green color. I wanted to make sure Nick got to at least get a taste of my 5am snack that I so considerately avoided bringing into his cabin.That is one weird looking tuna egg.......
Because that’s just the kind of guy I am.
Built-for-tuna fiberglass 12wt has entered the chat.
Yeah, (no) thanks to you. Not entirely sure what I’m supposed to do with 4 tuna setups.
I was wondering about fiberglass given the fair number of carbon fiber rods that been breaking. Exploding?
fiberglass? from several years ago...photo cred: @Nick Clayton
That's about as high of an angle that one should be doing with any material (although glass can take a bunch more)
That's an 8'3" Seele (Mike McFarland carry's these under his own shop as he was the rod designer for the now defunct Seele---but his heavyweights are well worth looking into for serious fish fighting machines) that's listed as a 12wt, but fishes more like a 14wt

I took it that time and a couple of other times. I'm still undecided if worthwhile...sure nice to not be stepping on the line while trying to cast, but it takes a bit to get stripping down, and even then may not be the best.
I'll take one of those plz. In a 7.5 to 8'. This 9 footer crap is not for me
