Took Makros(Troy) out for a fish on Saturday. The bottom gear was set on the first drift and I thought I may as well put the 6lb gear out the back. With in the first minute the line was screaming off the little Mitchell !!!!! While Troy was busy pulling in the bottom gear to clear the way I was making some line back.
10 min later the Sambo was at the side of the boat (great fun but back to the ocean you go)!!
The rest of the catch consisted of 2 KG's (one on the light gear) a Queen Snapper of about 3-4kg and a skippy!! So a quiet day on the water!! But using the light gear gets some great bait and a pocket full of fun!!!!

The little ugly-stik does
The little ugly-stik does really well at stopping things !!!! Sometimes I think it's better on light gear as you aren't so likely to spook them into their normal blitzing runs !! His first few runs were not the usual and I thought I may have had a large KG. Just kept the preasure on and worked him to the boat ever so slowly(34m of water).
