The long awaited Jabbers Snake Charmers 69 and 72 Double Tap!
The Snake Charmer 69 is designed for the Serpent hunters who love to seek out wild slitherers in the most remote jungles across Asia and for the adventurous seekers of all jungle prey. Mobility is key for the arduous journey through the tropical jungle. The original Jabbers 5pc blank design reduces pack length to less than 50cm, while maintaining the tenacity and reliability of a Snakehead rod. 

Despite being a 5pc design, they only weigh 147g and 164g respectively, and are designed for day-long casting, a strategy necessary to chase the rising serpent. Dressed in killer Snakehead Toman colours to accentuate your identity of a hard core Snake Charmer.
 
The Snake Charmer Double Tap offers a unique double tip configuration that offers TWO different tapers.
The Absorber tip is a regular fast action tip well suited for working big topwater pencils and crankbaits.
The Skull Dragger tip is an extra fast specially designed for frogs and buzzbaits in heavy cover situations.
With trophy Channa Micropeltes in mind the Snake Charmer 72 is built to handle big baits and big fish, while keeping the original Jabbers 5pc design for mobility in the jungle.

    This rod... WOW blew my expectations out of the water was able to use just about any lure and throw with full confidence! I have used this rod on two fishing trips, one being for tiger fish and the other for peacock bass and this rod handled it EASILY not only does this rod fight fish well it also allows you to always be in contact with your lure which I've had problems with in the past with travel rods! but not with this rod! HIGHLY recommend adding this to your collection!

Thank-you for your purchase. Even if you have a fully warranted rod. Common sense rules for its proper use and care.

Assembly:

Pre-assemble sections by slowly aligning and slowly rotating sections into each other. Do not snug up connections yet.

Once assembled, align the sections by sighting along the rod and rotating sections to ensure that the guides are all aligned correctly. The sections of all the rods we ship have been checked to ensure that they fit correctly. A thin layer of wax has also been applied to ensure that the sections do not get stuck together after prolonged use.

Once aligned, snug up sections firmly. The rods are designed to have AT LEAST 70% of the exposed male portions fit inside the female part when snug. DO NOT force or jam sections together excessively.

Disassembly:

Method #1:
Slowly rotate AND pull the sections apart. DO NOT EVER use the guides for leverage. Utilize the grippy rubber side of the supplied rod straps if additional grip is needed to pull and rotate sections apart. A pair of disposable nitrile gloves comes in very handy for this as well. If the sections are difficult to take apart, a second person may be needed. In this situation it is best if each person has one hand on each of opposite sections. NOT both hands on one section. Once positioned, both persons will slowly rotate and pull the sections apart in unison. Apply 70% pressure to rotating and 30% pressure to pulling the sections apart.

 

Method #2
Using the neoprene side of the rod straps(or any grippy material), wrap the straps around each of the sections to be removed. (!Make sure to not place any pressure on the guides!). Using a firm grip on each section, place the rod behind your knees and slowly spread you knees apart until the sections are separated. 

 

Care and Maintenance

Ferrules . . . these are normally hardy connection joints that do not require a lot of attention. Apply a thin coat of wax or dry soap to

the male ferrule to ease assembly and disassembly. We’ve found that common lip balm works very well. Clean the connections

after each use and ensure that there is no excessive build up of wax or debris. The ferrules are not designed to fit all the way. So

do not force them in too tight. Over time and use, they will snug in further. So do not attempt to sand the male sections so they fit

further into the female sections. It is important over an extended period of fishing to check that the joints are snug. One of the major

causes of failures is due to sections coming apart during the course of fishing.

Guides . . . Check the integrity of your guides by "sighting" down the assembled rod so you can see bent or misaligned guides;

minor bends or twists in guides can usually be corrected with careful pressure; do not use "toothy" pliers on guides as they will

leave rough areas that will damage lines; otherwise, keeping guides free of debris and dirt is a periodic duty. NEVER use the

guides as leverage when twisting, aligning or disassembling rod sections. Misaligned guides during fishing are usually an indicator

of sections coming loose and need to be snugged back in. Loose sections are a common cause of rod failure.

Guard against knicks . . . It is best to avoid colliding your rods with sharp objects, such as hooks, rocks, split shot, etc.; these and

other impacts can damage the rod's fibers (regardless what the rod is made of) and encourage breakage at the weakened spot.

Immovable objects . . . No rod is meant to be used as a lever in a stubborn attempt to move the immovable; if your line is caught on

something, do not use the rod to jerk on the line; rather point the rod in a straight line toward the source of the snag and pull

steadily until the lure or leader breaks.

Rod pressure . . . When fighting large fish or strong current, use the rod in a sideways angle as opposed to straight upright; this

lessens strain on the rod and is often a better tactical position. ALWAYS avoid ‘High Sticking’. It is also important during the course

of fishing to check on the snugness of all the joints of the rods. One of the most common causes of breakage is the ferrules coming

loose during fishing.

Cleaning . . . Rinse and wipe your rod off after each use before storage; if used in saltwater, be sure to wash it off with freshwater

and allow it to air dry before storage; do not store a wet rod in an enclosed area or sealed container, as it can mildew handles and

cause swelling/rotting of the cork.

Storage . . . store each of your rods, and each section singly in (a) a cloth rod bag and (b) a hard rod case; (we favor the tips of

both the butt and sections of our rods facing downward in these cases to protect them). Do not store rods in excessive heat, e.g.,

trunk of your car. Do not store away wet rods.

Chemicals . . . Avoid exposing rods and cases to harsh chemicals such as petroleum products, insect repellent, etc.
