i'm pretty sure this would happen with any rod (that can handle being bent this way) but since most rod's can't, we never see this awesome feature !
fwiw, i believe Peter's "lack of control of the fish" comes from demonstrating the 'pushing the limits' bit inherent to the promotional aspects of the film.
it sure does bend....
cheers,

not every rod on earth is stiffy fast graphite tomato stick Marc some rods in bamboo and glass could do some sexy bends and a landing net would be handy for that filmMarc Fauvet wrote:hi Andrew,ennio wrote: What's going on there; do all rods do this or is this a feature of the unidirectional layup of the Epic blank?

there's quite a big difference between 'most' and 'any', Alex...
anyhow, regardless of what they're made of, most rods couldn't bend like that without damage.
as for the net, for once , you are absolutely correct. fishing without one is irresponsible.
