j92 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hey, I've been trying to find the name of this rod I seen in a tackle shop a few years back. I'm pretty sure it was a 9ft stalking done by Fox, it only had one eye on it and then the line is threaded through the rod and out of the tip. Does anyone know what rod I'm talking about? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Nope; but it's definitely one I won't be getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Fox and Daiwa made them, they were interline Rods, I always thought they would be perfect for stalking, sneaking around in the under growth, I believe Daiwa still make then but not under the carp banner. j92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I've seen similar in the sea fishing side of things .... there designed to be fished off a boat & just dropped over tge side, can't imagine there cast very well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 No, they don't cast very well, but great for stalking and close range work, j92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddgx Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 On the subject of stalking rods, what would you guys be buying if you had about 50 squid to spend? Sorry for the slight hijack! Sorry I can't help with your question OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddgx Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Not sure if I'm searching for the right thing on fleabay but not seeing tonnes yet. You've just reminded me though, I've got an old rod in my shed that was my uncles. Probably 50 years old, will go dig it out in a minute. Be interesting to know if anyone knows anything about it.

mooseman Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've seen similar in the sea fishing side of things .... there designed to be fished off a boat & just dropped over tge side, can't imagine there cast very well . No, they don't cast very well, but great for stalking and close range work, I fish with Daiwa Interlines regularly, 12 ft two and three quarter test. Took them to France for my last trip actually, where I was fishing at 135yds (Far bank is 155yds measured so walking around to bait up to a 20 yard marker) with 15lb straight through and 3.25 oz leads. The tip speed of these rods has to be experienced to understand. The lack of rings makes the blank recover far better. I also use a 9ft Interline for Piking, sink and draw mainly, it will flick a 4-5oz deadbait 50yds effortlessly with braid. Stoogi is correct otherwise.
