Its delicate enough to fish with just one hand, but grunty enough to put the hurt on something bigger. The glass tip is probably my favourite part of fishing with the set. A light tap from a tarakihi mouthing the bait is detected right through the rod. All I need to do is wind a few times on the 6.3:1 gearing, and those circle hooks set really easy. Larger tarakihi have a pulsing fight when first hooked but soon tire quickly. Most dont get me into trouble on the bottom as I wind them in nice and smooth. Tarakihi have quite soft rubbery lips and can pull hooks out very easily if you are too rough with them.To recap, kayaks have distinct advantages in shallower water and trailer boats have advantages in deeper offshore situations.
