I last fished around Havelock for a couple of days during a trip in February last year. Fishing over the sunken reefs in relatively flat seas I got most action from Cubera 150s & GT Mania 130s (color seemed irrelevant). Fishing towards the rock walls and choppy seas of Barren Island (site of an active volcano) I used Cubera 150s almost exclusively but if I'd had 180s I think they'd have proved even more effective. Didn't do much jigging but short jigs around 200gms worked fine (especially on GT) when we did.

I'm going again in October this year - so you'll be able to read the ups and downs of a catch report before you go!! ;D

Cheers

Colin
