get used to seeing this set up, i have a feeling it will be in quite a few blogs to come.
to the pics...
what the locals call "pan size". baby spey meets baby omilu (bluefin trevally).
also got the giant aha (giant needle fish), though this one was kinda missing the giant part. not bad size though and super fun on the tcx switch, jumped all over the place.
watch that beak and teeth. these guys go crazy and have been known to cause injury.
micro bones are a hoot on this rig.
rats are too! i actually had to move a little to get this guy under control quickly... that tells me the rod may be a bit light for bigger creatures (as many of you know, i hate to move)... we shall see.
an ultra sweet, ultra crisp, ultra light weight two hander from sage. the funnest thing on the water since the advent of the giant squirting rumba cucumba. good times.
clay.
