Colombo wrote: The flouro was Yozuri 170lb. Hooked the kingfish at 70m. Was early in the session so my gear was fine. Fishing with JM Enchanter Special rod and PowerSpell PE7 with drags perfectly serviced. Skipper advised the reef was at 90m. After escalating drag pressure I had been unable to stop the fish after it took 3 colours. Sunset the drag and it pulled really hard and then bust. The flouro came up literally shattered from around the grommit. |

The other times when using nylon, the fish were smaller or you were probably just lucky. All I use during the last 12 years going to the 3 Kings and Ranfurly is FC. Nylon just cut itself off at the solid ring with heavy fish. This was all before the Ring and Grommet became available. |
