Landed a brown trout tonight.
Attachment 22163
Had a few hits on this lure but never had a swivel failure.
Got the trout on the bank and lure was still attached to trout,nylon came to the reel fast as nothing was attached!
Usually if there is a failure with gear it is the knot.
Attachment 22164
Not this time the swivel came apart,but one landed two hits.
Attachment 22165
Looks like it pulled it too, didnt break. Weird alright
The boss went up north on a kingi charter and the guy checked over his gear said that's shit and that's no good put this on and you will be sorted.
He asked what was wrong with what he had and the big Moari fella grabbed his swivel between finger and thumb on each hand and just pulled it apart!
He was gob smacked, tried it himself on some of his other gear and couldn't get it to even look like breaking.:D
1 small rainbow tonight about a pound but they were rising like crazy for you fly fishos.
A couple of good rainbow Jacks for today.:D

You are the troutinator Dundee.
dundee they get any bigger and itl lhave to be a .303nickel spinner ,or the good old powergel ministry of works minnow:cool:. seriously are these buggers feeding on mice etc ,by their size I d hazard a guess theres at least one cannibal there.
Caught a couple of decent wee browns yesterday. The one in the photos was released, but kept another one of similar length, but much better condition than him to go on the smoker this evening :)

Good little scrapper threw it back and went to the pub.:D
2 handles shouted cheers @Neckshot and an old mate I haven't seen for years. Good yarns but fucrk that Waikato gets your crowd going.:D I was doing well no beersies for me till I joined in.
You been drinking Waikato Dundee? You have now tasted the measure by which all beers are judged into one of two categories. The first is "Not as good as" and the second is "Almost as good as". @Gibo will tell you the same thing.
Another trout 2lb put it back.
Went fishing before tea saw lots of fish,not biting tonight,saw mr Dundee and bolt.Never mind try again 2morrow.
Back at the river home by 2000hrs with this.:D
