Spot the Ocea Jigger between the Sambos
Submitted by JohnF on Sat, 2014-07-19 18:18
RIP my favourite PE3 combo (Ocea Jigger NR1500PG and Hearty Rise 5ft 8 rod) which just met a watery demise.......the one and only design flaw with the Ocea Jigger, the handle turning by itself and engaging the gears, resulted in the jig coming to an abrupt stop after casting forward of the boat, ripping my favourite outfit from my hands........had it not been for the great white lurking below that had just nabbed a sambo I may have jumped in.........
Happier memories from last year......
RIP my little friend.

- can you identify the combo on the screen pic?

Paully, good question....the rod and reel actually stood out like dogs balls as it glided down past the sambos but I was still in shock so did not get it on photo, only managed a quick snap on the next drift......plenty of sambos though.

Thanks John
I can understand the shock, the other thing I was going to ask, was about insurance (as below)......I do know of someone that was in the same boat (pardon the pun), and had some success with a claim. Feel for you.
