Have you ever wanted one of those gorgeous Calstar west coast deckhand 270H-8 jig sticks but you only had $40? Or maybe you always wanted to know if you could fling the iron on an old school glass rod (I sure can't!). If so, maybe this Sabre Stroker 880 15-30# deckhand rod is the stick for you! Big 5s are known to be full of coronavirus, so come get one from me and it's much much safer.
As a bonus, you get a seine twine "reel seat," placed right where I think it ought to be so you don't crush the blank with your rod clamp. Cork puppies are for suckers.
I'd say you can't beat that with a stick...but after you shell out $40, you'll have the beater stick of your dreams!

If I still lived in SoCal, I would be all over it. Love my old Sabre blanks, both with seine twine and corktape.
