Had full brake and pressure on the spool but still made no difference to the rate of line disappearing, reel is a 6500 baitrunner, line parted and went with a crack. Anyone else had this. |

Fish starts taking line at a slow rate and continues at that rate - no change. After about 30 seconds go to set the hook, but no hookup and the KY comes back in neatly severed off behind the head. Guessing its a shark of some description, but no sightings to confirm. Snaps in great condition. Got 11 in an hour on Sun all in the 6-10lb class. Beautiful. |

I was one of the kayaks out there Sunday - I had a massive thick line on the sounder coming up from the bottom (probably 7-8mm wide on the Elite 5 screen), was just looking at it thinking '**** that's coming up' then had a 'donk!' on the yak and caught a bit of movement out the corner of my eye over my shoulder. Sat there and looked all around waiting for it to come back but it never did....

Which is the most important? My boat is not the biggest so don't want to get out too far in case metservice get it as wrong as they usually do. |
