A great new product had come to the market, the Sbiki Pro Rod. What a great idea, we had to have them. At the time we had our Hatteras and when we were Giant Fishing we would Alternate sleeping in the master stateroom and bunk room. One night It was my turn in the master. Something just wasn't right but I could not derermine what it was. The next night it was My brothers turn. When we woke up to head out, he was on the couch. Something stinks up front. I agreed but we just couldn't figure out what it was. We headed out with the mystery unsolved. By that afternoon, you could barely walk in the salon. We searched the boat but found nothing. Now what. The next day we headed out and set up to catch some bait. Out came the Sabiki Pro Rods and when we let out the rig, the culprit was caught! so here is my advice, it is not about tipping the sabiki, MAKE SURE YOU UN TIP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
