Thread: Attn Pig Islanders.

Ha ha VC that cracked me up. Bugger those pr and uni bullshit knots on this one mate. Shes light gear so can downgrade the knot a bit .
Albright knot is all you need and easy as pie. You are welcome. What i do is double the braid give it a lick and youre off racing

Yeah the pr is cool, the fg may be better for softy. That knot i drew has never ever broke on me and i can tie it in a minute or two. Pr is like ten bloody minutes if im lucky ha ha, im fussy but so redo them if one hitch is not right

Its a FG I tied not a PR, depends which utube vids you watch as to what it is called it would seem.

No tools required.

Same here,but I usually double up the braid thickness if connecting to flurocarbon or mono

Gave it a go for three or so hours today. Tried in channels tried around reef tried along the boulder bank tried out on the mud.
Not a single bite or nudge bit I still managed to snag a reef and lose one lot of gear.
Broke at the hook uni knot.

If it were me, I think I would try Pink baits drifted through usual Gurnard spots.
Make sure the bait is hitting bottom before retrieve

Figure 8 for the hook gangsta. Tough as f

Yea tried on the mud with nucular chicken Pengy.

Uni is all good gibo. My go to knot.

Have had this for 4 and a bit months now I think.

Have caught Gurnard,Blue cod,Kahawai and Cuda with it so far but no snapper yet.

It seems to be particularly effective on the Cuda and big Kahawai which are fun to catch on the light gear but the cuda are hard on the trace.

I am always mindful not to lift the fish from the water with the rod to hopefully avoid breaking it and always netting the catch is a little tiresome but the fight up till then is fun.

Just need to catch more eating fish with it...coming in to summer now so here's hoping I can make the most of it.

VC don't be shy to try a single hook dropper with 20-30lb fluro on your soft bait set. It has been my go too for a while now when bottom fishing and it seems to out catch the rest by quite a lot. Using a 4/0 hook with a thumb sized bait. smaller sinker than I normally would use say 2-3 oz. I find when fishing is a bit harder light gear comes into its own.

I do do that already on my other gear but with bigger hooks.
