Flathead fillets? Flathead taste better than Snapper. Thats outrageouseddyt wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 3:24 pmI've been using flesh baits like Tommy rough and flathead fillets mostly. Hook point always well exposed. The big ones keep dropping off after a few runs, the hook just pops out. Haven't tried circles yet.
I've landed a 3kg fish before on the 1/0 but the hook didn't actually go through the mouth, just lodged on the top jaw, so it dropped off right after landing. Hence why I'm thinking I need bigger hooks.
Interesting on the drag. I always thought it dropped off because of too much tension. Also I'm only using 10lb braid so I can't go too tight
Hahaha yeah I usually take the flatties for a feed but only when i can't find the tommys yakkas mackerel do I sacrifice a few filletsj_pap wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 4:48 pmFlathead fillets?
