The thing that sort of distinguishes it as a tupong to me it the eyes right on top of the head ( and it's size , looks like a baby one ). Tupong are sort of considered like a full on freshwater flathead, although a totally different species all together, but very close in look as in the eyes on top ...

Good write up TackleNut, that is exactly how I remember it was going back to around the early 80's when 'Yibbada Yibbada Rex Hunt' was the fishing guru of ppb. Brings back good old memories. I still prefer mono for 99% of my fishing, as others mentioned, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I did find br...

(maybe a bit old sites to some of us oldies , but still new and fun for young kids). And still fun as an adult if you haven't been to the places in years. This tip is planned on ...

Too right mate . That fish owned me that day !, real bad, I'll never forget it , as it's rare to even catch one around 30cm in that river. Was the biggest I've seen in there and I couldn't catch it. Bangg

And they don't really do anything a packet of gamakatsu or mustad hooks won't do for 1/4 the price. I've been using mustad hooks for about 25 years now (although I haven't bought any new hooks in over 15 years ), I've never had a problem with one, great hooks imo.
