matt84 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 with a late start sunday headed down the rocks, but with only a few little pigs around i decided to bring out the lighter gear, 12lb mono & started throwing some prawns around, was almost the wrong decision after i hooked this little freight train that smoked me in every crack, hole n corner it could find leaving me no choice but to free spool several time & hope that it would swim back into the main hole, finally it tired & swam back in with the serge were i could wash it out. went 5.5kg. enjoy. note the green rod at the bottom luckley in the pic for fotm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
