dirvin21 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I finally bit the bullet and invested in some higher quality gear, the sienna started to pack it in so went for a stradic matched up with a 7"6 balistix rod. Of course as soon as I get soem new gear it floods so had to wait for the river but finally the water cleared up enough. The bream were on the chew for a change with lots of hits and misses but finally one stuck and the new rig up was blooded shortly after working some rocky edge lure gets nailed again this time a nice black spot almost required surgery to get the lure back but he was released unharmed managed another reasonable bream from some very nasty shallow rocks then after some bycatch of small flatties and pike it was off to the tree to try and find some more bream second cast and another bream caught a couple more small bream they were really having a go in the tanin water working along the sunken timber the lure was smashed I really like the drag on the stradic being so smooth I can fish much heavier drag and not pull hooks, after a terrifying tussle around the timber out came a solid moses perch another 27cm specimen they really pack a punch at this size that concluded the blooding can't wait to get out for another go cheers for reading Dave 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Some nice gear there Dave, no wonder you can't wait to use it again. Good report and pics as always, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hill373737 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 A few nice fish there Dave, I think there's always a bit of extra pressure to catch something on new gear, helps justify the investment. You'll be very happy with the Stradic, they do have a nice smooth drag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
