Always PFD's now, us and anyone that comes with us must wear them at all times. Trying to change the way others see the use of them from a maybe item to a must have when rock fishing.

Epic
Epic results for land base fellas! Whats your rod preference if you don't mind me asking?
Keep up the good work.

All different ones depending
All different ones depending but for landbased for 50-80lb gear we have a few assassin models but for 80-100lb rods we are currently stepping up to CTS blanks custom built or Maven rods built on the same blanks.

Groper in short runs for brute power, got some over 20kg and they go mental. But for sheer power and stamina that 20kg+ kingfish Aron caught was ridiculous for off the rocks. I've been smoked by a few on 50-80lb gear that size so for him to land it that's a huge feat for WA. My 12kg one on plastic up the top was on 40lb and I got very lucky to land that one

I've caught kingfish off the boat, and just when you think you've got them beat they take off for another run.
I couldn't imagine how much harder it would be off the rocks, so many places for them to bust you off on.
