Makes sense. Once again with rockfishing your dealing with a long sustained load straight down, so oddly in kind of the same way with circling tuna you'd end up with similar benefits.

I hear you on rockfish. Cranking up multiple fish from down deep especially back when we could go deep would really wear you out. I've had those days where I just left the rod in the holder after a while. I could definitely see how an acid wrapped rod would make it easier.
