[cool][#0000ff]Just something else to catch fishermen...not fish. You can catch fish on a handline or a cane pole. That rod would not help you catch any more fish, and it is NOT a good design for float tubes. When sitting low on the water a LONGER rod is more beneficial for making longer casts and having better line control.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have been building my own rods for many years and there are a lot of considerations that go into every rod I make...length, strength, rod action, number of guides and guide placement, etc. Each rod is carefully put together to provide the maximum in feel and fishability for the particular type of fishing it is designed for.

[#0000ff]To me, a big part of fishing enjoyment is making accurate casts and then carefully working my lure until I feel the strike. Then there is the challenge to set the hook and play the fish successfully to the net. I can't imagine how much fishing enjoyment I might sacrifice by using one of these NOVELTY rods. The name should be NIMROD...not EMMROD.[/#0000ff]
