shinobu1608 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi Raiders, After a 8-8 marathon at work today, decided to go for a quick flick with the new Ecogear zx30 i got over the weekend. Stopped by the rowing club at Dobroyd Point and was playing around with my retrievals, when all of a sudden BLAM!! My lure gets smashed and my new Stradic c14 started to SCREAMM!!! Couldn't believe how much power this fish had! after a couple of minutes it turns out to be a ripper of a whiting at 41cm! Unfortunately no pics as it was really dark and my phone camera has no flash - but the fish was happily returned back to the water. All in all very pleased with my first $20 lure ( worth every penny ) and considering I could only manage whiting up to 30cm with live nippers over the weekend, I am a very happy man at the moment.! Spent about an hour all up fishing, couple of small hits but no other fish. Also would like to say my new setup ( recommended by the fishraider memberes ) is awesome! Stradic C14 2500, Pflugger president 2 piece and some 6lb fireline and 8lb vanish leader is dynamite! Hope to get out there again soon!

pmak Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Welcome to the club Shinobu. Sounds like you've got the bug - lure fishing at night even! That's a good whiting and what a way to blood your new combo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JET01 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Sounds like a dream start with a winning combo. Congrats on the fish, nothing better that getting a new PB, i've had 3 in the last 2 days, so i know how you feel. I really love my CI4. It's so much nicer to fish with than the Sedona i bought late last year. Great value for money, and excellent versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinobu1608 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks for the words of encouragement! Yes i do believe I have the bug.. i even went back again last night for 30mins and added a 30cm flatty to the tally! This lure is AMAZING! Hope this streak continues for me, haven't caught fish like these for ages.! esp in my local area! Shinobu ( Austin ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smole82 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well done buddy! A big whiting on a lure is my summer goal haha Gotta agree with ya too, absolutely love my Stradic Ci4! I paired mine up with a Shimano Jewel and it's an awesome combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
