In terms of gear, do you guys use a gimbal, the under the arm technique or jam the rod butt in your groin method when fighting a fish?
Still working out which I like, in SA we didn’t do any fishing without a gimbal(rod bucket), but not many seem to here.
What way have you found most comfortable?
The other is my casting finger takes a hammering throwing the big lures with 80lb leader, I have never really used spinning reels much, do you tape your finger or have purpose bought gloves?

Haha, the groin thing with a long butted too water rod also feels very awkward with the reel way out at arms length, at least with a gimbal you can drop the butt lower and bring the reel closer.
Suppose time will tell what works best[emoji846]

I use groin and no gloves. I have a long 130lb leader. There is three wraps of leader on my reel with the lure hanging to the bottom eye on the rod.
Marc my mate is about to launch his new top water brand called 'lo-cab' this month. He is in the process of testing his line of gloves. If you can wait his should be the bee's knees.

Tauranga Harbour was seething with Kingfish this morning. Me and some mates got onto 5 landed all up and a few escapees. Got a real sweet slash from a treble that pulled down my finger too just as a bonus :D
I was by my phone all morning just waiting
