Big Cob and monster Garrick caught spinning in the Umzimvubu river at Port St Johns

In this Wild Coast adventure we catch some large Cob and Garrick in the Umzimvubu river spinning with light tackle and bucktail jigs from our small boat. The fish are big and they are feeding resulting in some exciting angling.

thanks

[@kylerawlinson8404]

Awesome catches and brilliant video again,which Supernova is that,the 7,3 or 7,7?

[@FISHINGTHEWILDCOAST]

Hey Kyle its the 7.7. I prefer the length to help with distance casting.

[@kylerawlinson8404]

Ok thanks,Medium or Medium Heavy

[@FISHINGTHEWILDCOAST]

@@kylerawlinson8404 Hey Kyle I tried both but definitely preferred the MH. The M was amazing on the majority of fish you would catch in a river but just didnt have that pulling power for a big fish.

[@clentcharra953]

Good catches it's great to see nice cob like that. Hope you hook into more monsters. Be safe and God bless 🙏

[@FISHINGTHEWILDCOAST]

Thank you muchly

Ye jus before the rain

[@shaungovender8269]

Great atch bud, what braid do you have on the ITX?

[@FISHINGTHEWILDCOAST]

Hi Shaun, I have 10pd JBD braid

[@FISHINGTHEWILDCOAST]

Sorry JDB. I normally use Berkley whiplash but with thin braid its just too expensive to swop out every season and the JDB is well priced. I have just put on their new braid called JDB dna but have only used it once so unable to comment as yet.

[@shaungovender8269]

Thanks Bud i will give it a try, i am using the JDB ultra Tec . Its great . Will definitely try out the new one. Just some tips. There is a very nice power knob you can put on ur ITX. I have up graded mine and it works a blast. Around R200

[@FISHINGTHEWILDCOAST]

@@shaungovender8269 Thanks Shaun, where can I get it?

[@shaungovender8269]

@@FISHINGTHEWILDCOAST Try aliexpress, a size 30 will work. I used a brand called Piscifun. The knob is metal and smoke black. It matches the reel perfectly with delivery within 4 weeks to a pep store near u.
