A Tangle, A Swing, A Miss, A Swing, A Miss........
A few weeks ago I decided to switch up my gear and go lighter. Originally, I started with some heavier rods and reels and as I got comfortable I went smaller and eventually got to fishing with my lightest gear. This hali was caught on a Teramar TMC-X76M rod hooked up with a Shimano Bantam Castaic CA-200, it only came in at a meezly 26" but it was a fun fight on the light gear.
The combined rod and reel weight are right around 1.05lbs

Right on George! I love the light tackle fights. Good job on a nice flatty.

Nice video for the fight .
I like your rocket launcher setup with leash . Is that Ram or Scotty mount ? Where can you mount it ? (can't be in the tankwell...) My Hobie rod extension in the back (straight up type) is not as good as your setup. |

Thanks for picture of your diy rocket launcher !
I will give it a try ! The straight up Hobie rocket launcher some time will tangle up with Hobie rudder (when kayak is not in motion ), your setup will avoid this to happen. Thank again ! |

Thanks for sharing Jorge! I love fishing light gear... makes everything that much more interesting.
Personally my "light/freshwater" setup is a Shimano AX4000FB on a Shimano FX-S70MB2. It's definitely received its fair share of "wet noodle" comments; but hooking up 10 lb Bonito on 8 lb mono is far more exciting than if the spool was carrying 50 lb braid. |
