popped out for a couple of trips on sat and sun for about an hour each to try out the new rod.
I decided to order the cormoran ulx (thanks to MrFish for the quick delivery and great service again) It's not currently paired up with the right reel for my liking but it still performs very well, set with 10lb Power Pro and 8lb FC leader, both will go lighter when I can find the right braid for the job.
The fishing was slow on both days, I was fishing the high tide down for about an hour on each just over dusk and into dark. Managed 6 pollock the best about 1 lb and the smallest only a few oz or so.
Even the smallest of the fish gave an account for itself on the new light gear, with most fish taken from on the drop bites. I was fishing a 2g jighead with a mixture of small SP's.
My camera seems to be more broken then I thought after I stood on it last year when i got up to strike a fish in a rush(I'm a big chap and the camera stuck between me and a pointy bit of granite didnt suit it well),I did manage to take a couple of photos with it and will post them on here if they are ok.
Anyway had an enjoyable first couple of trips with the new rod and had some fish on it which was a good start, and I love how light it is and the feel of the lures being in contact all the time and just the amount of extra bites that I can now feel.
