I have a Wright & McGill Skeet Reese Tri-Gressive S-Glass Crank Bait Rod that was designed by Bassmaster Classic Champion,
It's 7' length, 1 pieces.
Very bulksize, look like giant walking stick as I often travel around or along the river for fishing.
It's a S-Glass Crank Bait Rod uses a combination of three separate layers of connective fibers;
I watched many videos at Youtube and found The Japanese mountain stream anglers use S-glass rod, but quite different from mine.
They are neat, shorter, and beautiful.
I am very interested in them, I am not sure what glass material they are as I don't understand Japanese language. No way to have any communication with them.
What's the different experience with the Japanese Glass rods, they even only available in Japan Domestic Market?
I wish this is not off-topic.
I not care much about the material of Japanese(or Chinese) glass rod, while I am very interested in flick casting of their Glass rod.
Flick casting is not just aesthetic, but also very functional in fishing.
The best way to mastering flick casting efficiency and accuracy is to load the rod up and let the rod itself do the work launching the lure for you.
So instead of winding up and reaching way back to hurl the rod with your whole body,
it's more of a tight, circular sidearm whip that loads the rod tip and flicks the lure out there. it's an aesthtical motion like the dancing, you will be addictive to it.
More important, it's very useful cast in narrow spot where other casting can not be done at all.
Some guys use two hands to make sidearm flick cast, one over the reel seat where you would normally hold a rod and one on the rod butt. That's a more effective way, but is not necessary in most cases, I love flick casting as I please. Just enjoy doing it.
Drop the lure down 6 to 8 inches from the tip and begin your fist flick casting.
Glassfin rod flick casting, so cool
BFS Glass short rod fishing is particularly peaceful , it requires the angler to be very present in the moment and tuned into your surroundings.
The sound of the water, the soft sun on your skin, and the Grass flavored air all help to create a sense of calm and peace.
When it comes to Glass rod, I don't like (probably hate) the skeet reese crankbait fishing rod, not user-friendly at all.
I enjoy short Japanese glass rod like Anglo.
