nice mulloway on light gear.
Submitted by Chris fish on Tue, 2012-05-08 14:52
got this nice mulloway this morning off a rockwall, was well worth getting up early and braving the weather, was caught on 12lb with a pflueger patriach 3-5kg rod and a certate 2506. was an intense fight with me almost getting spooled twice and only a few turns of line left after the first run. took 15 minutes to get him in on the light gear.

Thanks guys, wasn't
Thanks guys, wasn't targeting it on this rod Hahahaha, had a big rod out and ended up getting it on the light stuff. That's what I get for putting a big bait on the little rod. This fish was well and truly the limit of this gear was locking drag and holding spool and only just stopped it.

Great work on the catch mate
Great work on the catch mate - a great fish on any tackle, even better on the light stuff!
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.

Yeah these pfluegers are
Yeah these pfluegers are awesome, for there price they are great rods and I think they compare to some of the much more expensive brands. got some decent fish on this rod so far, plenty of big salmon, sambos and dhuies out in the boat but this is the biggest I have managed to get in on it so far...
