Broken Blue Rose B51SD...high sticking?

ChrisT · 09-10-2006, 05:30 PM

Yours Mark? Told you dont high stick!

Hey where's the catch report guys????

scarpie · 09-10-2006, 05:31 PM

Nah doesn't look like it. If it were, it would be broken much higher up the blank. Bit of a worry though for Blue Rose wanna have's.

Didn't bring that jig along dude, so it's safe and sound. Will pass it back to you when we next meet. In total we lost about 10 jigs this trip...

stickbom! · 09-10-2006, 06:01 PM

10 jigs?!?!?! Sheesh... Barracoutas? Sorry about the passing of your Blue Rose dude... lemme check with my buddy in Bali if his SD is still alive.

No dude,

The bottom was very snaggy and we kept jigging along a step...30m, 80m, 120m, 150m...the insane currents made things much more difficult. In some situations, a 520g crazy long could not find bottom in 30m of water, that's how strong the currents were!

stickbom! · 09-10-2006, 06:30 PM

hahahahaha.... that reminds me of a "chocolate color" joke Mark cracked back at Bali. Its was his way of deciding whether we should shift to another spot when our jigs couldn't hit bottom.

I guess the all important factor here would be whether you guys had fun out there.

jason · 09-10-2006, 08:30 PM

Yo markR
Your Bluerose cannot stand your wanking that why break.....Hahahahahaha!!!!!

Nice Catch report....

Hi Rob,

I don't regret selling the calstar jigging special because to me it is not a good jigging rod. The tip action is way too fast for jigging in my opinion. I also feel that for our style of bottom fishing in SCS the tip is too soft for heavy sinkers over 1/2kg...however, it may be the ideal Sabah rod because I gather that large sinkers near the 1kg size are not required in those waters, what u need there is a rod with good backbone and butt power but with a sensitive tip for optimal bite detection...I understand why frank likes it so much now for bottom in Sabah

Reel is a jigger 4000P not blue heaven lar...

765xl for bottom good but for jigging tak shiok...got "kok kok" sound, like no cushioning when jigging!

MarkR · 09-10-2006, 11:21 PM

Blank gave away exactly at the edge of the binding of the stripper guide...and I can't find my warranty

rascal · 10-10-2006, 12:07 AM

Hey there Mark, great trip u guys had. It's a shame the rod broke while you're on a fish. I'm sure the folks who sold it to u should be able to help if it's not too long ago.

DaFrogman · 10-10-2006, 01:40 AM

MarkR,

Was there any injury to the rod under that guide?.

Reason I ask is because that area is very prone to impact with the edge of a boats gunwhale or rail in bad sea conditions or when you get nailed by a big fish.... Other than that, the guide looks to be underbound and I can't see much other reason for a breakage at that point...

Anyway, S**T happens, its fishing dude, thanks for sharing your loss with us.

Hi DFM,

I don't think there was any injury to the blank under that guide. I bought the blue rose over a year back and this was my second time using the rod. It hasn't caught many fish and if my sums are right I think it broke on its third fish. No big ones either.

Thanks Rascal. I may just bring it down to TTC one of these days and seen what they can do.

Cheers

MarkR,
There could be a manufacturing defect on your rod. No worries if it's still under warranty. I have 2 Jigwrex (strongly recommended by Mikey....steady pom pipi) which i'm going to bring along on my trip to Philippines and hopefully won't end like yours.

Cheers

jason · 10-10-2006, 10:49 PM

It wont end up in twos...But in threes......hahahahahaha!!!!!!

stickbom! · 11-10-2006, 10:50 AM

Hmnnn.....if that's the case, can i borrow your rod as back-up instead. Not forgetting i need a reel as well. Maybe your Amberjack Special and 665 will be enough. But can also include your Z4500 and Jigzam. I'll help you to test em out.....hahahahaha.
