Calstar Prototype Rod with Accurate ATD-50T (looks like bad news for cows)

Cow Fishermen,
I have been working with Calstar on a new idea for a cow rail rod.  Some of you may have seen the 8.5 fl long, 4XH prototype rail rod that I was carrying around the Long Beach Fred Hall show.  Jonathan Yamate (RP skipper), Roy Rose (RP skipper) and John Yamate (Seaforth Landing and Jonathan's father) are helping me test the prototype on the current RP  Nakaki 18-day trip.  You can also see the ATD-50T reel that Jonathan used to make fast work of the big fish.  Hopefully they will hook and land many more like this to give the rod and reel a good test and provide lots of valuable data to make a decision on producing the rod.  Thanks for the photos Jonathan.

Thanks for checking out this post,
Gary
