Last few months I've been using just a regular rod instead of my unwieldy 8' sabiki rod. Yesterday I was putting my sabiki away and the 6oz sinker dropped thru a scupper hole impaling my pinky on a hook. It was an akward location and i could't pull it out with a pliers. After a long paddle in and loading the kayak, I ended up using the fishing line method to pop it out. At least it was only a sabiki hook!
Now I remember why I got a sabiki stick in the first place!
