Pipe fish

I have no idea Lofty - I dont pay too much attention to that sort of thing. I suspect it is at the lower end of the PE scale so might be the same.

Hey - are you wedded to Shimano? I bought a samaki which Ive been using on the sort of fishing youve just come back from and its awesome. It looks like a stick but it is full of power. Same sort of rod I pulled the monster Samson up on (mind you - I couldnt lift the rod off the gunnel for the first few moments).

Well done vogon!

3rd guess - 115.

Awesome mate.

I appreciate the evidence, but lived experience alone could have told this story. I think we are all to blame to some extent. You only need to see how much rubbish I pick up from the beach at the shack on a regular basis to know this. Drastic reform to our approach gets my support.

I dont own one - but do like how they feel. All of the other Gomoku stuff I have is excellent quality - great jigs!

Amazing - brings back memories - wish drones were around back in the old AAA days. I remember months out before the freshwater state championships, we would head down to Tip Top Bakery at Maylands and get all of the breadcrumbs that were destined for scrap. Im talking tubs full of the stuff. Then weekend after weekend, we'd head to our chosen spot, spend the night making burley bombs, and literally bombard the backwater. Did this up until a week or so before the comp - and then on comp morning - arriving to the location it would look like a bubbling spa bath of monster carp. Youd not only be c

Yeah, Im using a 3500 certate on this rod from memory - the combo weighs next to knix. I didnt get the boat out Im afraid. Was actually pretty blowy when I got up Saturday. In fact, I probably only saw a couple of boats out all day. Good luck tomorrow at Foul if you go!

This is the Samaki Hunter - I note its rated for jigs to 120 grams, but Ive been using much larger jigs without a problem. In fact, I used a much lighter rod on the 40 kg samson in my profile picture!
