It smoked my sienna4000, defs isn't working properly. I went and bought myself a Daiwai, much better. Cheers Kosta!Kosta7 wrote:Great catch guys! I am sure this won't be the last one.
Did you upgrade reel or still using the small one for gummies?

Jeez, that was lucky. You must have hooked it right in the corner of the jaw then for it not to bite you offSTriplett1997 wrote:Damn mate, better luck next time! well i usually use 60lb black magic, but i run out when i was there.. so i caught him with 30lb.4liters wrote:Noice

Re: WPB Land Based Giller!
well done, thats a cracker fish, 4000 sienna wouldnt have stood a chance, you must have burnt out the drag washers for sure.
whatever reel you have got now i hope its atleast a 5000 minimum if going to fight these sort of fish and upgrade the drag to carbon drag washers..
ideally a daiwa BG6500 would be ace for these fish and they come with carbon drag as standard..
