The rule of thumb is 30% of
The rule of thumb is a third of your line strength.
It gets complicated after that;

30% my backside area
crank it up until you can only just hold it and back it of one click
Just go as hard as your body will allow.Get a spare set of carbontex for when your ones wear out
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

Saltiga drag
As a rule that's how GT fishing goes, I think with the sambo's, they only pull as hard as you do.

spot on tony - crank it up
spot on tony - crank it up and try and snap something - I have learn't that I can hold full drag on a stella for 3 minutes - after that my grip starts to struggle. Is there any other reason you go sambo jigging other than to test gear/yourself? I put it in the same boat as GT popping - it is a fitness test not a relaxing day out

Sure, thats why I told the guy to fish 1/3rd of line strength, then work your way up from there.

I have looked at all his pics
he is not wearing a tiara in any of them
Simple go as hard as you can for as long as you can.The most basic rule of life.The weak get eaten.Oh and try and hook fish in the jaw.

Dunno allrounder, pretty
Dunno allrounder, pretty sure that he would have to get the tiara back from you!
Just a couple weeks back you were telling us how you needed to lean into a rod with your forarm to fish a rod to it's max ... while running 8lb?
LOL, thats a whopping 4kg?
So I get a few extra fish that other people miss through unconventional methods, I guess I'm just lucky!

That rod is for kgs
and snapper at the three mile while drinking bourbon and eating a kfc hot and spicey.
Different tackle for different fish.You are comparing a single handed spin rod to a three kings jig rod.I fish the gear i use to the limit of its capability.Be it whiting or marlin.By the way it was not a shot at anyone.Anyone that has done enough fishing has foul hooked more than a few fish.

Thats a cheap shot!!
Cheap shot, but I'll pay it!! Should actually be more points for anything other than a mouth take, fish don't eat through their tails!!

Send me a pm
Before you get into town and i will sort out some assist hooks for you.Most the guys that do it often bind ours up a bit different than the bought ones.If you dont want to carry a whole bag of jigs over you can borrow a few of mine they just sit around now as we only go after other species now.Might do sambos once every couple of years on the way past to other ground.
