TRAVELLING anglers know the value of quality multi-section rods. Flying around the country to fish usually means toting cumbersome rod tubes, which these days often attract an excess baggage fee. It’s also a gamble that when you open your rod tube, its valuable contents will still be in usable condition.
Multi-piece rods offer an obvious solution to this age-old problem, but it’s an unfortunate fact that most multi-piece sticks simply can’t match the action of traditional rods. The new Jabbers range is designed to change all of this, offering single-piece actions and strength in multi-section rods. Its Jabbers’ unique ferule system that enables these rods to provide a truly amazing performance, according to its manufacturers.
The Jabbers Pleasure Seeker Ultralight is a five-piece spin stick constructed from Toray high-modulus carbon cloth and fitted with Fuji reel seat and Alconite K guides. Weighing in at just 109g, the Pleasure Seeker is designed to work with 1000-1500 size threadlines or baby baitcasters. It’s rated for lines of 1-4kg and lures from 0.4-8g. At 6’9” long, the Pleasure Seeker is ideal for light estuary and freshwater work on species such as bream, whiting, bass and trout.
Retail price is a very reasonable $285. Available in both spin and baitcast versions on-line from Adrenaline Outdoors at www.adrenalineoutdoors.com.au.
