mgj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The kings are about -but wary and elusive,after all the hardware thrown at them over the summer! I caught up with a few of them today.The biggest went 83cm-a solid tussle on a 12wt in bad country. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, It took about 5 minutes.With kings I find if you give no quarter,you get them in quickly- if not they normally get you!

exhail Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Do you find they only hot on a fast double handed stripping action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgj Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Do you find they only hot on a fast double handed stripping action? Kings are a bit like Barra-lazy creatures until hooked up-then they go crazy! Therefore I use a standard retrieve mostly-sometimes a quicker retrieve is required.
