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 AJs to 4-5kg.

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..
It doesn't takes a saint to catch and release
That was an angled shot so you couldnt really see the "real" bend of the rod. I'll see if I can another pic somewhere.
this pic is off a video....
Voilą..... ! That is very nice bend.....man !
What blank of PE2 rod did you used ?
Heres a short vid of that fish......
