Watching this back I clearly need to slow down my retrieve after each hop. Think I'm winding in too much each time. I got two PB flatties on Lake Macquarie over the last week, was good fun on my new set up.
@@LostFishingAus I actually recorded a video myself. Caught a couple PBs but they’re babies for you haha. Fishing was tough and slow the last week or so.
Set the hook harder on the initial take. Aside from that you did everything well! Bad luck mate, great fishing and video. Thanks for taking the time to share it!
Honestly mate, I felt like I would end up buying the both of them eventually! so I just went with the XFLC being a tad bit heavier, but the grubfreak is high on the priority list. I plan on having an entire Quiver of millerods At this point anyways!
@@LostFishingAus haha my mind has gone the same path, it’s a little overwhelming what to get first though. I am just getting into soft plastics more seriously so wanted to pair the GrubFreak with my Sustain 2500. Wondering if the XFLC would be a better option given it’s a little more versatile
I reckon if you go in there an chuck that reel on a few of those rods my brother you’ll walk out with the one you’ve been looking for! And worst case scenario.. you buy a few! 👍🏼
Nothing you could have done there mate. You fought that very well. I guess that's why they call it angling not catching. You could have backed off the drag and gone up a lil higher but the adrenaline takes hold. I wouldnt have changed anything if it was me mate. 10/10 job
Gained a new sub brother, just been binging your vids on my tv but I can’t like on it so I’m gonna go through and like every vid now on the phone haha 😎🤙
I feel for ya mate. You'll always second guess yourself after losing a solid fish but thats just the way it is. I don't think you did anything wrong. Persistance will see you onto another 🤘
He probably just played you man, as soon as he got a good look at your mug he decided to spit the bait out, they are pretty good at that the smart asses
Bro, cracker video. Think most of us here can relate. The heading says it all. On the bright side you just scored another sub, there’s the win. Tight lines dude 🎣💪👊🏼
