[Safa]

[carnster]

Can't go in the morning jayman, clive etc but i am sure you guys won't feel sorry for me. Good luck.

[carnster]

Awesome Carnster. Bigger than I thought hung around Palmy. Mate, in light of BigKev's loss and a biggun I lost this year, can I ask what leader knot you are using?

Cheers

Greg

My rig:
30lb to 50 lb braid (overkill, mainly use it for when the xos cobes turn up) to a swivel (collar and capstan knot) to 60lb mono to swivel to 58lb single strand with haywire twist to a pillie rig.

Nice fish Chris - if anybody deserves it it's you, considering the hours you put in!
Careful Dave, don't jinx me as well - if i get a good one i'll rub it in big-time

[carnster]

Lol Dave, funny stuff. Don't worry Clive can catch the big ones even when they aren't on. Look out boys i am coming out. Have to be back on the beach by 6am. Super quick paddle to the reef and back.

Hell Ya , good stuff, your killin it, hopefully by thurs I can get out there

[krisvander]

Collar & capstan? Haven't heard of that one before. Doesn't seem like an easy knot to do on the fly in the kayak from the directions I saw.

Have you used palomar knots? I always do two wraps of the loop before putting it around the swivel. Never had one slip or bust, but I haven't fought a 1+ metre mackerel yet... I've only snagged the bottom & broke other parts of the rig. Never the braided knot.

That's a great fish in anyone's book, well done and very envious.

[keza]

Great to see it's started firing for you.
Awesome fish.

[Desal]

[clarkey]

What can one say,good stuff mate.

[carnster]

Hey Kris the collar and capstain gets easier and is much stronger than the palomar when tied to a swivel.

Nice Chris,

I have to make all my rigs again after the awesome Monday session. Ended up with 2 big fellas in the box, and got dusted 3 times. The last one chewed straight through the wire after he took 100m of line.

Hopefully see you guys out there when the weather and work gods align again. Bill.
