Lots of it but mostly bad
Na got up early cooked B and E for breky then started loading up the ute which i wanted to do last night but the wife wanted to take it to her freinds place and too late by time she got home.....so Joe Arrived and we took his ute so swapped gear over and I ended up leaving the most important tackle box at home full of kingi stuff
Anyway spot was not quite what i remembered from when i was a kid and couldnt walk the coast till low tide anyway.
Will chalk that one up as experience
Awesome sunrise tho.

This mornings effort. First ever king. Stickbaiting workups from a kayak.

Well done!

Awesome! that would have towed you around a bit?

Looks like it made your toes curl full stop

Yeah got a decent tow!! Toes normally curl during extreme pleasures right???

If anyone looking for a setup i have a saltist demon blood and spheros 1400fb not being used

So you guys in the know which one should I go for. Both good deals.
This one has 80lb braid, 15kg drag but extra heavy / casting weight 150 - 300gm rod

This one has 50lb braid, 10kg drag & a lighter rated rod at 60 - 100gms

https://www.smartmarine.co.nz/produc...92h-sj-x4-50lb

I've going to the 3 Kings so leaning towards the heavier set, but am concerned the heavier rod will be a bit stiff to give stick baits the action they need.

I use a 6500 and PE8 rod, I don't target small kingis so I try to be prepared for a horse, targeting big ones and catching big ones is a different thing.

For the Kings, definitely the heavy set.

60-100gram sticks and poppers are the best size for kings imo anyway

Cheers, the big one it is then.

I have a diawa monstermesh rod and it seems to work lures around the 100 range really well.
