Quiet

Very quiet on the macs lately so you did well to troll up a couple.

How good are those x-rap magnums?:)

15kg

15kg is fine for them in my experience Ryan. If you were using 24kg then yeah, you might need to beef their trebles up.

permasteel!

Wed, 2008-04-30 16:59

Yeh the permasteel trebs are sharp but a weaker material also, i change them regardless but yes.....the heavier gear for sure!

Interesting to hear that

Interesting to hear that other crew are finding the mackies quiet at the moment...

I went jigging a couple of week ends ago and I lost two Mackies landed one about 15kg and Brad also lost one that smashed his jig... all in about an hour or so.

Plenty around

Plenty around, I saw 2 free spearing in 6m of water at the Rons, then hooked one 10 mins later trolling to the next spot.  Quite a few getting donated to me for research too.
