Nice video, thanks for sharing. Regarding that notch you put on the rod, I have done similar. I don't want to use the bump board unless it is a close fish. To remedy that I bought a bag of 4" zip ties. Put 1 on the rod at 9", 10", 11'. If quickly holding it next to the rod shows it's on the fence for min. length it goes to the bump board. Just saves some time.

Again, nice video.
