I recently took out a mate and whilst fighting a small chopper, he dropped the whole lot overboard! My fave ultralight outfit, pfluger rod and TP. Right in the middle of Syd harbour, no GPS.
Came back the next day with his scuba gear, found the rod in the murky water AND there was a dead tailor still on the end of the line!
Obviously whole dead tailor are crap bait in teh harbour!
