A cowkicker 5000 by any chance ?

Put the rod through a good workout last night on the beach casting 5 oz and clipped down rig with fish fillets on twin 6/0's targeting smooth hounds and Salmon. Caught some Salmon on the TTLD and a smooth hound on the Kompressor S. Really liked the way that the TTLD sent out the weight and bait with easy . Must note though that you need to take a slow turn in the cast as the extra weight really allows the rod to load up, but when it unwinds it punches the rig out beautifully. I had it matched to SL20SH and .31mm mainline.

Looking forward to the next trip.

Here is a picture of a small Gummy that I picked up last night on the Kompressor S the TTLD only got the Salmon and rock cod, Great fishing rods

Nice fish mate. Didn't know you got hounds over there. Nice one. You should throw up a few more reports mate. Nice to see what anglers from other parts of the planet are up to.

got one of these yesterday. really struck me how thin it was whan casting. fished with a 3 hook clipped pat, small baits for whiting and a 150gm gripper. no problems handling this, cast them effertlessly and showed bits from pins from about 80yds but still seems to have plenty more left in it. tried a few casts with just a weight and manage about 120 with a relatively gentle aerialised otg. one thing is that with the blank being so thin it will take a wee bit of getting use to whn casting and on retrieving.

Have used the rod a fare bit over the last few weekends and really like the way it is performing with a wide range of baits and casting conditions.

The rod is being used along side my Kompressor S in most situations and must saay that it handles all of the smaller fish very well showing up bites and handling the fish with no problem.

Here is a picture of a small Port Jackson shark that I got on the TTLD .



Also a reasonable sized Skate that I got on the Kompressor S.






I will be using both rods again tomorrow evening to see if I can get into a few good Snapper.

Will report back.
