PaddyT Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 light spin stick , they aint exactly the hardest fighters , wriggling wet sock sums it up. The main thing is have a really sharp hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hmmm I knew I posted about this at some point in the past... sure enough found it... 2013 !!! .. where did the time go? Glean what you can from this post but in essence: whippy rod with strong butt section, I prefer a spin reel as when they are coming up at you - you need to retrieve that slack line quickly to maintain tension ... Cheers Zoran 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
