Aust Salmon - Broke my Fishing Rod

Post by Fish-Hunter » Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:07 pm

I was fishing recently & using my bait gathering rod, while soaking some big baits for Snapper, when a approx 2+kg Salmon taken the bait. The fight was strong & the fish made a run for a underwater snag, i locked the spool "BANG" i heard & noticed my rod broke :o_0: but i still managed to reel in the fish :thumbsup:

That sucks.

I nearly lost a brand new rod to a salmon of similar size. My 4yo son was winding in a zx40 off black rock when a salmon grabbed it. Nearly pulled the rod clean out of his hands haha. Landed a couple of them. They go like stink at that size.

Nah bender that isn't a tcurve. Don't know what it is though.
