Exmouth 2010 Biggest Marlin prize (finished)

finally finished the winning prize for the biggest marlin at exmouth for the 2010 comp, sorry about the pics i will get some more in better light.

I have matched the rod which is a sabre 6455h a 15-24kg rod with alutecnos guides and leather foregrip and black and gold ali bent butt with matching black and gold bindings.

mathced to the rod im donating a shimano tritom trolling series 50w reel, spooled with 24kg line, this reel has caught a few marlin including the 82kg marlin i caught at busselton just after i moved over from melb.

 

i think there will be alot of  competition for this catagory this year i am suspecting!!
