Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Reports & Expeditions

Tested the new rod

(1/3) > >>

Stephen Polzin:
Went out the the reef (Cairns) to test the new rod with some stickbaits.  Got Trout, Red Bass etc and managed to land one GT.  I was very impressed with the rod (Calstar blank) though it wasn't able to stop one big fella that took my lure home.  Spose there's only so much you can do with 60 lb braid!

Luke Wyrsta:
Well done Stephen - bet you were hankering to get out with all the recent wind!

Yeah - get rid of the pussy willow braid as i can see you are fishing very shallow! - or expect to get blown away when the big boys come out!

Rob Ciotucha:
Nice fish there Steve, Lucky for some to live in a stunning location :)

Cheers
Rob

Cam Foley:
Awesome job must of felt great to land fish on a rod you built yourself.

Greg Burt:
Stephen, its nearly three months and a few fish since you christened the Calstar 700H, how do you find the rod after getting to know it and is it living up to expectations? I still haven't had time to seriously test my one out, but its not far off.
