6-8 kg outfit

[fishermanOTM]

I'm thinking of grabbing a 6-8 kg combo for targeting Mulloway, what sort of rigs are effective on Mulloway in the docklands area? (hook sizes ect)

I agree,

I got into a small mulloway on light gear and they are maniacs. I would definitely go heavier if you want to chase mulloway.

You never know if your going to hook a baby or a 40kg monster.

[abu-garcia]

I agree 10-15 kg because mulloway can be tiny then on the other end you got a 30-40 kg one chasin ur lure or bait u never know whats happening next always be prepared

l use 80 pound leader,and 30 pound braid just to make sure lm not going to lose one, hope this helps.

How likely is it though that you will hit a 40kg fish in the docklands? Or am I just being pessimistic?

Extremely unlikely! If you get a 40kg jewie in Victoria, thats a goddamn Fish of a Lifetime(even among trophy mulloway anglers). I generally use 30lb braid with 50lb shock leader and 60-100lb fc leader. Have never lost a fish due to rig/line failure with this setup. Have lost 1 good fish few years back on pulled hooks but thats another story. I know some anglers who target them with 15-20lb mono live baiting in docklands and rarely lose a fish. There are also many well documented captures of 1m+ jewies on bream gear(3lb-6lb), caught in the yarra as bycatch. Im definetly not suggesting one should use bream gear to target jewies, but its worth mentioning that it does happen frequently.

No, realistic John...

In western port it's not that uncommon. Theres several YouTube videos of 35/40k jewies
