I know a bloke who loves Rock Cod.

I thought he was having a lend of me until he came out with us and wanted to keep every one.

He took them home so I assumed he ate them.

Great report yet again Scott. What an experience! Shame one of those big fellas didn't stay stuck, but I'm sure you guys were rapt to get a hookup. Better luck next time mate.

How much line do you run on those reels? 500m is a long way down.

On the Talica 50 we have 900m of 80lb braid and 100m topshot.

On the electric I'm not sure how much line is on that, maybe 2000m of braid?

Killer report mate! It's great to see someone actually getting out there and trying something a bit different rather than just gas-bagging about it like I do most of the time. Can't wait for the next instalment :).

ps Those ling are bloody monstrous!

Cracking report Scott I don't think you are ever going to die wondering when it comes to fishing :cheers:
