Popular Post Terry Smith Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 We caught plenty of species but nothing special to report I'm afraid. Fishing was very slow although Slow jigging was productive for most of us. Here are a few images. Good sport on the lighter gear. daio web, GPSguru, Saintly Fish and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the planets best and dirtiest fighters, once hooked they go straight down and you just cant stop the run. We only ever got to boat about 25% of the ones we hooked. Nice fishing and cracking pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 1 hour ago, captin slows old outlaw said: and what would it coast to get one About £270 or so. but if you are only trying SPJ out for a couple of days, then a spinning rod will be ok, or even a standard 12 - 20 can still fish a jig.

Thats fine, most normal people use a FS with a left handle, it is only those with strange brain deficiencies that use a multi with a left handle 🤪 spinning rods are ok for SPJ, but they are too long and awkward for using over an extended period, but short sessions are well ok. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
