Just got a new toy to play with this summer!
I called into local for a casual look around and picked up one of the new Black Magic light jig rods - Damn I was impressed!
So impressed I got one.

Super nice action, lovely bend with a good bit of backbone and sooo light, I cant wait to use it.

Pics below, report to follow when the damn wind dies down a bit.

I think it will make a very good slow pitch / light jig rod for snaps and Kings!

Finally got out to test the new rod. Didn't get to max it out as biggest fish was just shy of 10kg but soooo much fun!!

Looks good alright, I found on their website where they are stocked if anyone else is keen to have a look.


Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man ta fish and he'll sit on the rocks and drink all day.
