Rob Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Now, as you can imagine that this caught my eye: I have tried for them in club waters and will again, just a shame that this one is no longer available, as I think it had my name on it!!!

sparky Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Had no chance Nige, Allan suggested that but it was just so fast and powerful .............then it was gone, all within about a minute, it went up the side of the boat and then changed direction heading towards shore at one helluva speed. Never had anything spool that reel like that before. niggle and Leicester Fisheagle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Rob, you should try , " The Poole Bay Monster " is about !! Got hit yesterday mid water, took off like an express train, clutch on Penn torque 200 done up to the max. with both thumbs on the spool and it just carried on going until the 30lb leader broke I have done some careful research today, and can advise that i have seen the prime suspect. Unfortunately, not close enough to touch the bugger!!! I can see why your 30lb leader broke!!!! I'll try and get your hook back soon.
