This was something new to me that I came across on-line but Friday I was in BPS in Spainish Fort and notice they had them in stock.  Its a sakibi rod, the rod is designed so that line comes off the reel (baitcaster or spinning) and goes into the rod.  When you reel in you actually reel the sakibi rig into the rod itself.

Guess what it works, no more sakibi bird nest, no fighting hooks, no pulling hooks from fingers or clothes.  It cast well and like I said it really does work.  The only hang up is size 8 sakibi hooks is the largest that will fit in the rod.

At BPS the rod was $69 one like the one in the picture with a cheap spinning reel was $79.  I have found them online for $54, but shipping runs the price back up.

I think I like the store bought version better than the homemade.  Something about pulling 4 fish up at a time with a rod composed of duct tape...there may be a better way using the handle of an old rod.

But thanks for the idea, I only wished I had invented it.
