What rod you are using now? I thought it is one of 黒鯛工房's? It is not too bad for the windy days.
I have thought of taking a series of maeuchi fishing photos and kind of making it as an album...but it is just my wild idea as I haven't put it into action...I think I would have learned so much from you...haha...
I am using 黒鯛工房 VL at the moment. It is okay and can do the job. But compare to my friend's Ryobi VSR...its a bit erh...anyway - I am looking into the Daiwa 435 TL at the moment. It is an interesting rod with guides similar to ISO rod. Think it might be quite fun for Otoshikomi at deeper water...wondering...hehehe
