PB demersal on artificial

 Got out for a one last fish before heading back to work for 5 weeks.

Plenty of nice fish caught throughout the day but this one tipped the scales at 16kg making it a PB on artificials.

Was on Whitey`s new test Rod from shimano that he lent me to have a go on.

Nice Rods think was Shimano Terez from memory.

Gooooood Dhubag! Especially on metal, congrats!

The Terez rods are selling really well at the moment, seem to be a well valued rod.

Shimano jig maybe

Thu, 2011-09-08 18:46

Shimano jig maybe centrevortex Brown and silver- dont know the name as it was on the rod when was handed to me. 

 

Not Sure rockoe can find out for ya think it would of been a bit lighter than that,It had an 8000 thunnus on it probably more suited to a 5000 or 6000 size reel as i found out on the next fish.
