Soft Plastics Cork - 10/3/12

#1 Post by JimC »

Last Saturday 10/3/2012 Kevin Murphy and myself took the Bella Vista Hotel Self-drive Raider out for a blast.
We took some pictures of the boats fishing the Irish Team Fundraiser before heading to torment some codling on the soft plastics:

Yes Pat drive on as usual.

Hopefully the cod will syill be around Derek :)

That Unity is the smaller version to the 45. Like the 45 it is a lovely reel. My 45's are still going strong, some going after lots of abuse!

Fishing there between 30-70'
Leadhead between 25 -70g depending on depth and speed of drift. The lightest possible to get down quickly and keep contact to the bottom. More often than not 25-45g
You are limited really by the weight the rod can take.
