Well done on the win what i don't understand is Dr Jun saying he used a soft plastics retrieve not far removed from Bream fishing after other years demonstrating the violent whipping of the rod jazz at the classic.
Has he decided those methods don't work anymore and was mistaken or because the bite was a bit slower and he went for a slower retrieve ?
I know on facebook a Yamashita pro was saying he only gives it two jerks when he travels to Australia, maybe it standard japanese retrieve has no place here ?
I have got the two shallow Breadens in magna red,keen to give them more of a go later on,cheers,,

Thanks. No the violent whipping is stilled used when you cast away from the boat or shore. On sunday we all had to use the slow lift as we were using super deeps and the drift was pretty quick. The squid were close to the bottom and whipping the rod would have lifted the jig too far off the bottom. As Dr Jun said we gently lift the rod which in turn lifts the jig, count to 10 then lift again. I too have ordered a new rod it's their latest blank it's super fast taper and can fish jigs from 2.5 to 4.0 super deep. Jun had the rod in a " U " shape.
