Bar Up Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has information on the Jervis Walker Sabiki Baitcatcher Rod. Saw one in the local fishing shop the other day and thought this may save me some money by not throwing away a jig each time I go for a fish.

Jigholio Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 The hooks will still rust out if not rinsed under fresh, the benefit of those rods is no tangles. If your issue is with 'bikis rusting out - not worth it If your issue is with 'bikis tangling up in everything - worth it Personally I go to the trouble of sourcing stainless hook 'bikis. Then a 'biki rod is definitely worthwhile. umkay? Jig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce the Postie Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 G'day All, If your having trouble storing your bait jigs, try storing them in a length of sparky's conduit. Just cut a vertical slot in one end of the conduit, lower the jig with sinker still attatched into the tube and use the swivel on the other end to pull the line into the slot. Problem solved. Cheers , Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar Up Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks Bananaphobic & Jigholio Might invest in one considering they are only $40 and see how it goes. If not into can go into the musuem with other fishing rods that don't get used anymore. Bar Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamtime Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hmmmm.... an item of tackle I don't own!! Nice one. Cheers, Slinky True one Slinky, But you're in Australia where most fishing is done in salt water, the rod is made , and designed, in the USA where most fishing is done in fresh water. I concur with Jigholio - unless you are going to thoroughly rinse the outfit after every use, it may just come back and bite you on the backside. Rusty gear trapped inside - very difficult to remove and cleanse. But hey - I think you should buy one or two of these rigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
