Testing the yamaga blanks Ripple Fisher Blue Current 74

The Blue Current 74 prved to be a very strong light gear rod, able to stretch to its max and handle any fish thrown at it if fished right. the solid tip allowed small lures to be cast a mile, and surface lures worked extremely well. The rest of the rod loaded up parabolicly creating a clean bend thoughout the entire blank as if th 2 peice joint doesnt even exist. the 74 Blue current itself is 99 percent carbon making it a crisp graphite rod. The small split grip ultra hard EVA handles let any bite, hit, take or tapping on peices of structer can be fealt through the entire rod. Fishing with the rod is not only pleasurable but practcle for all day fishing. the 99 percent carbon blank, limitted split grip sectioning and small real seat make the rod very light, the EVA grip marks for a comfortable area to hold onto with the same sensativiy as cork without the wear and tare on your hands. perfectly matched with the light stradic ci4, 6 pound sunlight super PE nd fished with the sebile mini series lures this combo is a fish hunting machine.

the blue current capturing yet anther flathead


perfectly camo'd up againt the mangroves this flatty was still
pulled out from the smooth and reiable power in the rod


tarpon slamming the perfectly worked plastics



stoked on the effort from this flathead daarting from snag
to snag then into the fast current.


72 stick shadd and 35 crankster

 A barra taken on a light outfit stick baiting over a shallow
mudflat, taken on a 2500 reel and rod to suit the fish swam
very well. The sebile stick shadd 72 performed very well taking
this winter barra while it sunned itself on the flat.
 

The pattern on the lure matches the colourations of a freshwater perch in plentiful proportions coming from the fresh water
because of recent rain.

This bream climbed onto the craw perch coloured lure
worked well in the wash of a flowing out esturine system.
The water colour was like strong tea so the vibrant red
attracted the preditor to munch on the trebles. flouro carbon
leader is a good idea fishing around rocks because
 of its abrasian resistance.

The small grunter put up a nice fight darting between rocks and pulling
drag from the little 1000 stradic ci4. no matter what the weather,
colour of the water, or any other condition, the sebile crankster 35 with
its perfect colour options are great esturine lures.
