>>2415487>What's the advantage of having the split grip like that?It looks cool. Supposedly it helps to not have the rear portion bump your arm making short accurate casts. It does cast like a 7' rod despite being a 7'8" big bait rod with a long grip. Its mostly Yuki Ito autism though. They are Megabass slant bridge rods. That one is the Super Destruction swimbait rod with a telescopic blank and spiral wrapped guides. I throw 1-4 oz baits on it mostly.
