Man Hodgie, you know how to go out with a bang..great session!! Now you two gotta put your acting hats on and pretend you hate it when Barra hit while you're fishing for jacks😜
@@stevehershberger2672 ha ha ha. Yeah I know, I know. 😂😂Thankfully the ones we hit in the snags are the smaller models hey. Those bigger ones out in the open water and deeper holes are the ones that we steer clear of. They reckon they reabsorb the eggs back into their body fat if hooked and stressed from the fight hey. That’s like, a couple of million fingerlings each big fish, so bugger that. The, cranky little blokes in the snags are enough of a surprise on the light gear 😜👌🏻🤣
Good fish mate. At least you didn't forget the reels, I've done that before haha. Those new Refractions are unreal hey. I've been running the 5ft6 12-16lb Refraction and a 6ft5 3-8lb reaction for the last few months and they're bloody incredible. To be honest that reaction is the nicest rod I've ever used. Good video mate, bring on 2025 season hey! 👍🎣
@@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures yeah mate the 12 to 16 is my favourite accuracy short range rod hey. Got the new little Reaction spin with me today to chase a Jack hey. It’s a sweet little thing mate. 👌🏻
Hey Hodgie, great video. What is the line rating of the refraction rod you had on the steez i think it was? The one you said was the best casting rod out of the lot, Thanks.
@@pigsen6688 the 12 to 16 mate 7”. The 6’3” 10 to 17 is very very close also, but has a bit more balls in the butt section hey for the timber and low end pressure. 👌🏻😜.

I never knew that about re-asorbing the eggs when stressed. When you learn something, its been a good day...thanks.
