This is the only knot I use, have never broken it, even on kings.
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 got two spare spools for my softbait set for like $10 each. Spooled one with 6kg and the other with 2kg mono. The 2kg is just silly thin but surprisingly with a goid rod and light drag it gets them up
After loosing a couple of bloody good fish on the soft bait rod Sat finally last night I boated 4 snaps over 500mm with it.😊
It was however deployed as a strayline with squid on it [emoji3]

Keep us posted on how you get on Cam I'm real interested in this thread just got myself a Shimano Stradic 4000 and Shimano Nano 8-15lb rod setup for softbait, spooled it with 8lb braid, and have no clue what I'm doing with it!
Get some 20p flourocarbon leader and fg it on.

sheesh that's an OTT knot for a softy mate :)
I go down to a 10lb fluro leader on softbait setup. Unless you are fishing a snaggy reef or similar, it is fine. Bite rate increases quite dramatically.
Bit off topic but boys down here went for a surf cast off Amberley Beach last night and ended up coming home with a few panny snapper each, blew me away, never heard of snaps being caught off Amberley

@Ryan_Songhurst If I didn't know you Id be calling BULLSHIT :D Wicked For a shy fish Id think North Canterbury not be Ideal for them , Christ I've been fishing with skippers that won't even let you drop a sinker on the floor of the boat . They recon thats enough to scare them
Blew me away too Munsey, they are Filipino blokes and they always fish there but usually only catch sharks, elephants etc. They didn't know what a snapper was, sent me that photo with "hey boss what is this fish? Is good to eat? Today we just got these ones "
Should have told them they're terrible eating, drop them off and I will give them to the dog...:thumbsup:
They were all over 30cm to the v in the tail, I thought the same as those Filipino blokes consider damn near anything fair game. That's a big ass dairy shed wash tub they're sitting in

"2 Bunnies" is ready to hit the water again, spent the last week or so every night fitting her back out. Have a baitboard on the way to replace the ski pole and ready to go. Need to take her for a test on the water before we hit up the Abel Tasman in ten days time. Usually I would just bang it over the hill to Kaikoura, but not much chance of that at the moment, might have to go to lake Tennyson. Real keen on trying out my new softbait and jigging setups, although I have no clue what I'm doing!
