No luck mate. I've tried everything. Ice /hot water and pull as hard as I can but still can't unstuck the rod ;(

I had a problem with two of my jigging rods(shimano deep jig 400 & Smith Ninra). After a days fishing it is impossible to separate the 2 sections of the rod, as I do not want to damage the rod by holding the guides is there a better way to free the 2 sections, the sections were not jammed tight and this is the first time that this has happened. I noticed that it will make thing worst if applied wax or lube to the rod. Has this happened before and what is the best way to separate the sections? (hot water or cold water water)Also any advice on how to prevent the above happening again. Your help will be much appreciated, Dan

Hi all, In the past I did all my rock fishing with braided line and want to give nylon a go. Have heard some good sucess with Tortue SUPERCONTROL, what do you guys think? Has anyone used it before? what other brands do you use(24kg)? I tried to find some online tackleshops who sell it but have no luck, also can't find it in my local tackle shops. Anyone know who sell it with good price tag? Please PM me Dan

Thanks Guys. I've decided to give Tiralejo 1300H Spin Heavy a go.

Other question is do you guys perfer mono or briaded line for rock fishing? I am thinking to load up 24kg onto my saltiga 30 but I don't think I can cast very far??

Hi all, I am thinking to get second rod as my rock fishing rod. At the moment I am using a FSU 4120, which matches with Penn slammer 560 with 60lb line. This rod can handle groper 5kg+ groper with ease and my best so far is 8kg with no prob at all(still haven't hook a king yet). The reason I want a another rod is I find that the butt section of 4120 is too thick and the weight...am I too fuss but I love my fishing and I want to fish all day with comfort. The two new rod I am looking at is Daiwa Senor 13' and Shmano Tiralejo 13'. They both cover all my needs and they look really stonger. Also got advices from one of my local tackle shop that they said FSU 5120 which handles a big king or groper off the rocks better than both these other rods put togther. I am not suprise since I have heard a lot of good success with 5120. But does anyone ever fish with all three rods and what they prefer? Other concern is $$$, the shimano cost around $700 compare to FSU 5120 which is $300. Is it worth it, I know the components use for the shimano are all top quality but..........all advice would be great Regards Danny
