P3 Bearing Down Tachyon Hookset Special

[hungry_cow]

I got a Phase 3 Bearing Down from Japan auction and was surprised to see it says Yuki Ito Tachyon Hookset Special Private Custom Edition.

Is there anything different about this rod than the normal P3 Bearing down in its build or action? Or is it just something cosmetic?

Every one I saw come through The Tackle Trap has the same thing on the blank. Great rod nonetheless!

So your saying there is nothing different about this one?

Must be an extra extra extra fast, superluminal tip if they're calling it a tachyon. In theory, such a rod would actually allow the bass to escape to a safe distance before unsetting the hook you punched it through its jaw after it jumped out of the water (or livewell if it's tournament day) straight into your hand, and while line visibility and abrasion would suddenly become a non issue, I have to question the utility of a rod that exhibits such counterintuitive properties. Just my .02

Correct.
