2 minute guides are a great intoduction. Thanks
Would it be possible to label them with the series number (1, 2, 3, etc.)? I find myself opening each to see if there’s something new.
Will do. I had done that in the beginning but wasn’t sure how valuable that was. Thanks for the suggestion.
In Video 2 an explanation hot to extend and retract the rod, you mention the tip plug can be inserted in the butt of the rod. However my rod has a screw plug at the butt, if I remove it and retract the rod the rod segments would fall out. So, I presume the rod in the video above is a newer version of the rod? Or you just don’t mention removing the permanent plug and storing it temporarily?
Hi Henry, that feature which allows you to secure the plug at the end of the rod is only available on our Rhodo, Sato and Ito rod models. Unfortunately our other rods do not have that solution at the moment.
