Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Giles]

Upped my Sea Bass game.....

The quality of this thing, is completely and utterly off the scale......

[jordanscollected]

@Giles I love the sensitivity, feel, and balance of a high quality rod. Is that a spinning rod or baitcaster?

[Giles]

Spinning. It has a revolutionary guide system which I am itching to try....

https://zenaq.com/en/tech_rgguide/

Very few anglers use baitcasting rigs for lurefishing in the sea in UK. I used to, but migrated back to spinning outfits a few years ago. I do use mainly baitcasting gear for lure fishing in fresh water - have no idea why I favour either/or......

@Giles Great choice, my „dream rod“, same brand: PA 90 Jaw Breaker,

[Giles]

Quite a few of those Plaisirs I'd like

Do you have the RG guide system on your's, if so, how do you find it?

[ConBu]

@Giles Unfortunately, as I wrote, it's just a dream. Currently, there are only Sportex and Shimano. But if it works out this year, I'll definitely get the RG version with a Stella or Exist...

[Giles]

Ah, sorry. I missed that.

I think I "need" one of these: PA 93 Cast Master

If you "need" the jawbreaker" I may be able to pick one up in Japan for you next time I go. About 50% of European price. Let me know....

[ConBu]

@Giles tempting offer, that I would gladly accept

[Giles]

Please do. I'll have a rod tube with me anyway. May as well fill it up

[ConBu]

@Giles PerfectTell me how we should handle it

[Giles]

My current Bass rods are all made by YAMAGA BLANKS......And I love them, they have worked really hard for me. But I could not resist the RG concept........

It does mean that now I can lend my mates a decent rod when they need one.

I'm going to Omam soon. Primarily GT fishing, but there are some great locations we can fish for smaller fish from the shore, my mate who has no light rods, can fish one of my YAMAGA's. He'll be chuffed....

@Giles PerfectTell me how we should handle it

I'll let you know when I am going. May not be this year though.....

My nephew grabbed this guy when he was river fishing today. Big fella

[Mizmazzle]

@jordanscollected whoa!! That dude is massive!

[SKT]

@jordanscollected that’s a big one! I’m deathly afraid of snappers. I was traumatized as a kid when my uncle pulled a big one up running a trotline. I’ll never forget the hissing and snapping.
