queensland Kingies, Aj, Big Eyes, Tailor and a Cod landbased

[PlasticFantastic]

After hearing the Trevs were on down the Tweed I was keen to get amongst it and see what I could catch, so Saturday arvo I called my mate Gordo and headed to the Tweed for a flick. Tried a few spots in the river first up to no avail so headed to the rock wall to see what was around. Got there to only be greeted with a stiff northerly but just upped the jig head weight and all was good. After the first cast it was apparent there was a few Big Eyes and Tailor around ended up with a few of each but no photos.

Went back this morning to try our luck again on the Trevs and get a spot early before the masses rocked up. Went fairly well with a small AJ two Kingies one really small the other about two kilos but snapped the line trying to lift it and a bonus of a cod going 4.5kg on the lip grippers. All fish were caught on plastics and the cod on my Daiwa Interline 3-6kg, th rod has it's quirks like with leader knots but the thing is awesome to use and the power in it is amazing there's no way I should've landed a 4.5kg cod on that gear off the rocks with a swell rolling in. All in all a good couple of days fishing.

Also need to mention if it wasn't for my mate Gordo climbing down on the rocks to lip grip the cod I would never had a chance of landing the thing solo, so cheers for that.

Nice work on the cod, should bring that rod out next weekend,,,,, not. Good work getting the cod out of the rocks, lucky gordo didn't hook it he would have lost it.

is that rod the 2-4kg 6'6 version? if it is how does it feel

[PlasticFantastic]

It's the 7'6 3-6kg and feels good to ude nice and light extremely sensitive and heaps of power. It stopped a 4.5kg cod alright but just can't go dead lifting those sorts of weight with it.
