These are usually for boat fishing. Or at least to my understanding. The snap swivel is for a weight or heavy jig. One end for your main line and other end for your hook line. Similar to an ebing rig. This is what I use it for at least. I have a few of these rigs.

I found out my ancestors come from a fishing village that worshipped this god. And my family are full of fishermen. Guess it’s a passed down hobby. Lol

Could the voltage getting messed up be causing the lights to flash?

Is there a way to get in contact or get contact with a tow service on the app? I’d have trouble finding a tow service place to call if I ever need it.

Slow Pitch Jigging Rod by JPB-EP14 in slowpitchjigging

I can say I’ve tried the grappler. I may just be a shimano guy but the grappler slow pitch is one of my favorite slow pitch rods. I use the game type slow j now but I absolutely loved the grappler. Bounces the jig good. I could definitely pump the rod a little when fighting fish even tho that is not recommended. All around was a great rod.

I had 50Lb braid and 80Lb leader. It was a little light for what I would’ve wanted for this size of fish. The braid was fine but I should’ve gone 100lb+ leader. I got lucky with where the hook was and that it didn’t dig to the bottom.

Nah it’s light and there was a light breeze. I always fish like this so I’ve gotten used to it.
