Title: Does anyone fish PE6 locally?
Post by: Brandon Khoo on February 08, 2009, 09:44:57 PM

I was wondering whether anyone fishes PE6 locally (around Australia) for GTs?

I've caught heaps of trevors up to over 20kg on my 8000 with PE6.  Good match for Cairns fish, though I mainly use PE8 now.

Brandon, I tried to do so, on my last trip to the Whitsunday area, but got wiped out too many times to bother persisting with such an absurd idea any more.  ::) ;)

Brandon,  to be fair, some of the blame in my instances of lost fish, was undoubtedly attributable (is that a word?!) to the inadequate drag system of the reel I was using  :-\

This is a vid I made up a while back.  PE6 on Cairns GT's.
