There's a tecnique for salmon we call hovering. It's been a well kept secret for
quite a few years up here in the Pacific Northwest, but it's time to let the
proverbial cat out of the bag. The fish targeted are usually in deep holes,
normally suspended and non-aggressive. They have a tendency to follow the bait
and nip at it. The bite is almost indistinguishable, but that's where the "hover
rod"comes in. First of all, it's the first rod designed especially for this
special technique. It's GLX and features the new, innovative RECOIL guide system
making it extremely light and sensitive. At 7'4", it's shorter and much lighter
than most salmon rods, but you don't have to cast it with this technique, you
just drop the bait down to the right depth and drift through the hole. A light,
responsive tip telegraphs even the lightest tap, but when you set the hook it
locks up instantly with power that will surprise even the most demanding salmon
angler. This is important because you are usually sitting down, holding the rod
as steady as possible so you can really watch the tip and concentrate on the
bite. If the rod's too soft, you can't set the hook properly, it it's too stiff,
you can't detect the bite.The new GLX Hover Rod is the perfect combination of a
light, sensitvie tip and a strong, powerful butt-section. When the bite gets
light and the fish get finicky, it can be one of the most intense fishing
experiences you'll ever have. |
