Rep Power: 4   |  Big fish on silly gear...... Well....not quite as silly as last time. This time prototype PE2 blank and Certate 4000 with PE2 daiwa line. Wasnt expecting this catch, previously was hooking and landing rat sambos and Amberjacks to 4-5kg. |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 4 | Re: Big fish on silly gear...... given that i've pull that rod when you showed it to me and the way the rod was bending on your 3rd pic its seem like Certate wasn't working hard enough..  maybe you should give it a better run to show how much potential it can go BTW, i've even had the bush on the spool replaced with ball bearing to make it even smoother..
