Small Dhuie

My 1st Dhuie on a metal Jig. Was fun on light gear from 8 metres of water. Only measured 55cm and released well.

till - Will get back to you on that jig, can't quite remember as I used so many on that day. will PM you.

beau - I found a really slow lift and retreive with quick small jerks helped me. I was getting hooked up heaps but they kept burring me in the Coral. It didn't help that the Ryobi 5ooo I was using kept winding back which made it hard. I have 2 of these reels that have now done this and both I have tried to have fixed yet the problem reoccurs. I'm retiring these reels never to be used again! They look good though!
