Fight time: 15 mins, my poor rod is only rated 4-6kg so can't crank the drag up much. Jack had another exactly the same size but with a T-Curve it only took 5mins to land - definitely time to upgrade the rod to match the reel then.

Grz,
Good to see you have come over to the Soft Side, even if ya pic didn't make it we are glad to have another convert. You have a great setup there, and don't panic if you break the end of the Starlo Stix, we actually pimp them up by taking the top 35-50mm off the tip, still get the great action in the rod, but gives it a better feel on the strike. Don't slam it in the car door to try this out though wait for the unthinkable to happen first.
