Many uses for that rod. The rod is built for a technique or style of fishing.
Any species fish that needs that criteria to get to them will need a rod like this to catch them. They make an awfully nice bottom fishing and salmon trolling rod when needed also. In a pinch I've uses them for keeper sturgeon rods also.

So just what technique would this be used for?? It says heavy boucning on the rod, but I am not familar with that style, or at least not under that name.

Also what size sturgeons are you catching with that rod??

Thanks.

It's a back bouncing rod. Designed to be used from a boat that is anchored and you walk the lure/bait back through the hole or slot by raising and lowering your setup on a heavy sinker with dropper. You want the weight just off the bottm so it doesn't hang up, to do this you ocassionally drop the rod tip and feel for the bottom, if you can't feel it let out more line, if it's dragging on the bottom bring in some.
You can also hold the boat against the current and slowly drop through the hole doing the same thing. Some of the blanks Lamiglas uses on their line of bouncers also are used in salmon jigging rods in Puget Sound and elsewhere.
They are also the same blanks or similar to live bait blanks used on the East Coast for strippers, etc. Bass anglers use them to throw big swimbaits, and I'm sure the similar weight lures can be used for other species fresh and salt. Very versatile rods.
If you go to the Tackle Tour site I believe in the archives you'll see an article in the archives where they used a Lamiglas bouncer for a variety of things.

Thanks.
