A couple of new weaves on several new rods I'll be trying out next week on an 8 day tuna trip on the Excel out of San Diego. The wahoo weave is on Calstars new 700MH blank which should be a great baitcasting tuna rod for fish up to 100#. Both weaves done all in A thread. Thanks to Ken Bush for the initial pattern idea.
