I straightened out a 1.5-Ounce Jetty caster on a fish with the rod in an effort to keep it out of the rocks, so it definitely has some guts to it.
i guess i just got a little confused, you say its not strong enough for a canal rod yet you straightened out a Jetty caster and landed 30 pound fish in the canal with a moving tide?
