Interesting to hear that other crew are finding the mackies quiet at the moment...
I went jigging a couple of week ends ago and I lost two Mackies landed one about 15kg and Brad also lost one that smashed his jig... all in about an hour or so.
Plenty around, I saw 2 free spearing in 6m of water at the Rons, then hooked one 10 mins later trolling to the next spot. Quite a few getting donated to me for research too.

Very quiet on the macs lately so you did well to troll up a couple.
How good are those x-rap magnums?:)

15kg
15kg is fine for them in my experience Ryan. If you were using 24kg then yeah, you might need to beef their trebles up.

permasteel!
Yeh the permasteel trebs are sharp but a weaker material also, i change them regardless but yes.....the heavier gear for sure!
