Found (caught) rod & reel at the Pin

[Nugget]

I pulled up a rod and Alvey reel at the Pin - you'll have to identify it and where it was lost to claim ownership.
The reel is green, the rod is black - as new condition.

was the travelly still hook up

[Nugget]

No fish - in fact there was no line left on the reel so I'd assume it was pulled over by a fish.

hey chris who lost the gear husand or the wife
ill say some colourful language was used hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Nugget]

No the same gear - I caught this just north of the old Hubner's Hut.

I did a clean up a few weeks ago and counted 52 rods - I really don't need another!

But I lost one then caught one - must some spooky association there!

G'day fishos,

Nugget: What are the rods bighting on at the moment? SP's, Dead/Live bait?

just for kidds

[Nugget]

That outfit took a Deception Shrimp in deep purple colour with yellow eyes.
I thought I had a hit earlier with a Golbourne Jack but missed it - the Purple lures worked on the day.

G'day Nugget I could not tell the brand but it is a 7 and half foot rod two piece with four inch yellow alvey it is about 20 years old. One of the runner's recently was re-done. I lost it at Whalleys gutter we were camping there when the king of the pin was on I left it on the beach with a small boat rod with a shimano 4000 reel not a bad effort to lose two rods in one day cheers brewman

[sharkbait]

I wasn't going to put a post up because its a good 10 or 12 months ago but i had a brand new ugly stik/3500 baitrunner pulled in just south of the wellington point leads. all brand new and still not replaceable (for me) to this day.

[squire]

Nugget I lost a very similar outfit whilst putting down rod at the back of crusoe to get a sanga. over she when like a frieght train. It was a synder glass rod black in colour and the alvery was a fibreglass back. Now it was a while ago was wondering if you ever found its owner. marty

[vertico]

sharkbait : let me guess you forgot to engage the baitrunner
done that a few times and nearly lost rods in the same area

[sharkbait]

vert - you got it, and the drag was done up tight from a snag the cast before. The rod was actually airborne it got hit so hard. The bloke fishing next to us that night had a 3kg squire from 6ft of water, best one I've seen there - maybe something similar was the culprit as they hit bloody hard in the shallows.
