[FISH11]

I tried out the sabiki rod I made yesterday after being inspired by this thread. The rod worked really good, except for two things. Number one the 1000 reel I had as a spare just isn't strong enough when you hook up with a really large mac (like 14+") or worse if two hook up at once. The second is not really a fault of the rod, when 14+" bonitos hit the sabiki you quickly have a sabiki with no hooks. I guess that is why someone had a thread on where to get sabikis with 30lb lines.
