About 12-15kg approx Jorie, The 4000D baitrunner would be ideal to run 15-20lb line but around Broome there are plenty of sharks you have to try and get the fish past so I run 30lb and also gives me some more pulling power up the river chasing barra in snags etc.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

That's a big fish on little gear! That's what it's all about right there! It's good to learn and know that your knots are fine. What a test! Well done
