Outfished by mrs on a £6 rod

This is her indoors, playing a fish with one of her pink rods she bought off ebay for £6...yes £6....

And this is the result , a 16 pound 4 oz carp/

Outfished by her indoors , on a 6 pound rod, it just goes to show you dont need to spend a fortune on fishing gear....mac.
She caught this on luncheon meat in the margins about a foot from the bank where she was sitting, she had been throwing in sweetcorn and homemade groundbait to entice them in.

PS: Thanks to pingu ....it was in a thread that he was replying to , and he showed how to post pics.....now i know how to do it....cheers mate.

Re: Outfished by mrs on a £6 rod

Quite right its a shimano 3500gt borrowed off her brother...
we both have shimano 6010gt ,s that we got off ebay for 40 pound each but i was just highlighting the fact you can buy cheap stuff and not pay the earth,yet still catch very nice fish,
Its just that i replied to a couple of posts on here from newbies , saying you dont need to spend great amounts until your sure you want to spend more money, and these pics show you can do this with a six quid rod .
cheers and well done for noticing

Re: Outfished by mrs on a £6 rod

its true, the only part that matters is the last 12 inches of your line, you dont need all that expensive gear to catch fish and enjoy it.

Re: Outfished by mrs on a £6 rod

Shshsh! if my missus was to see this she would want one of those pink rods as well

Great fishing, well done Mrs Mac1. Brilliant Carp, It must be all of the female hormones on your bait. LOL

Re: Outfished by mrs on a £6 rod

lol, I'm sorry I did chuckle. I've seen these pink rods in most tackle shops recently, never thought I would see one in use.

Beautiful fish Mrs mac1, congrats.
