You've lived tge dream fair play. had bonefishfever a good few years now , once you hook a good sized bone on a flat its game over its that addictive , then once you've lost a reel biggie then you step up your tackle , any bone on a flat is a reel ball think I read that a burst speed of a carp /pike is 7mph and the burst of a bone / cuda is near 35mph they do shift cheers, the runway to bone /cuda central Edited July 4, 2015 by green lurchers 2 Quote Link to post
