Thread: Garmin Live scope

I know this is not a rod forum but have a little tip that some of you may know about but if you don't, it will really improve your rod sensitivity for those light winter bites or any time the fish are not real aggressive. I have never used a Huckabee rod but sure they are a great rod. A few years back, my kids bought me a B n M 12 duck commander double touch rod that had notches cut into the cork handle so you could lay your finger directly on the rod blank. I couldn't believe how that increased the sensitivity on the light bites. I decided to notch my Sam Heaton super sensitive the same way. I just held the rod where my index finger laid on the cork and marked it. Then I took a knife and cut a V notch out of the cork and used light sandpaper to smooth it up. The photos are my Sam Heaton. It is amazing how much feel you have when you are in direct contact with the rod blank and it doesn't matter what kind of pole you use. I now have notches in all my poles I use.
