Couldn't agree more, well done Sam and good to see your young brother enjoyed the moment... :a_goodjob:Kev209 wrote:Hi Sam,
Your young brother will always remember who helped him catch his first fish. Something to be proud of mate.
6lb mono main line down to as small of a ball sinker as you can use on the day. then as small of a rolling barrel swivel as you can find (these work better then your normal swivels) then about a meter of 4lb fluorocarbon line down to a size 8 mosquito hook. when you use powerbait only use half a nugget.Ocelot wrote:Can you also describe the rig, I used a hook connected to a swivel which is connected to main line. A bean sinker above the swivel which allows the trout nugget to be buoyant

Cheers :thumbsup:DougieK wrote:Catching stockies i've had great success on pink powerbait, 1 metre or so under a quill float with a single split shot 20cm from the hook, smallest possible hook I think i've used size 10 suicide and size 14 mosquito hooks.
