Ryder Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi Raiders I headed out hoping to get a few fish on the newly acquired Black Queen. I matched it up with an old Trudex. The first spot I tried was completely dead so I moved further downstream. The next spot showed signs of life, I was getting small downs but I wasn't able to hook anything. Just as I was thinking of another move my float went down and stayed down and I hooked into a solid fish. The rod has a very soft action with a surprising amount of power down low. The fight lasted a few minutes before the fish was safely in the net. A really fat fish about 35cm with a squarish mouth most likely from feeding on the ocean rocks. They are probably coming into the harbour to spawn. Only one fish today which was released, but it was good to see how the Queen performed. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scienceman Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I remember these rods when I was a teenager, some 40 years ago. Great estuary rod for light mono lines. Ahhh, memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
