Length pays if you are casting about
I HAVE started fishing with a new, longer rod – the Shimano Borderless 420M-T.

I HAVE started fishing with a new, longer rod – the Shimano Borderless 420M-T.
It’s a freestyle and high-spec rod, with titanium frame Sic guides, CI4 reel seat, separate grip, spiral X construction.
Originally I wanted a different, slightly shorter model, the 380M-T.
But I failed to obtain Shimano Borderless 380M-T on a visit to Japan.
My new 420M-T is longer than 380M-T – 420cm long!
Despite the length, it only weighs 132g.
The castability is great for land-based fishing because I can put in longer casts to fish holding areas.
I’m not sure exactly how far I can cast with it.
Of course, I got more distance than usual.
Once fish were hooked, they can’t escape from the hook because the 420cm-long rod has an excellent flexibility.
So far I have caught blue salmon and rock cod, casting a Surecatch Snapbean and also a squishy Mongrel.

Illegal fishos “mistakenly” sent home
A Territory judge has ruled it would be ‘unfair and unjust’ to issue an international warrant against six poor fishermen the Commonwealth mistakenly deported despite a looming court date.
Size matters as new incentive could land fishos more cash
There’s plenty of reasons to cast a line in February particularly with an exciting new twist to the Million Dollar Fish, which could see one lucky fisho walk away with an extra $40k.
