What size line where you using?
He was rocking a 15kg rod. TLD25 Reel with 100lb braid and 100lb leader! Big gear!
Tld 25 isnt big gear. Some people use that for snapper and gummy and from memory only has a full drag of capacity of 9kg i think.

50lb braid would have done the same job. With the reel set to max drag and with water friction still wouldnt exceed 50lb recommendations

Great video mate and keep up the good work with your YouTube channel. Love your videos!
Maybe this guy can target the big stingray at Mordi. I reckon it's bigger than the one in Corinella.

What was the outcome / recommendations of the "Project Banjo" consultation? And why the focus on piers specifically? Is this a case of "out of sight, out of mind" when it comes to boat based fishing, then?

Compared to the gear which I normally run (sienna 1000's and 2500's) its massive haha.
