Ben’s currently living the dream, travelling through Indonesia and mixing up surfing and fishing wherever he can.
While exploring the coast, he landed this proper bluefin on one of the lures we sent him out with – proof that the gear works just as well in tropical salt as it does back home 👊
Not everything went smoothly though…
He managed to snap his Savage Gear rod, so had to improvise and pick up a local replacement. The rod he found is a Daido Oceanic (a local Indo knock-off of Daiwa), rated 40–100g and 10ft long. It only cost £20, but in his words:

The setup for this fish:
•Rod: Daido Oceanic 10ft (40–100g)
•Reel: Daiwa BG MQ ARK 6000
•Line: 45lb braid
•Leader: 40lb mono
•Lure: YKR ZEN

There’s nothing quite like the rush of a surface take — that split-second eruption as a bass smashes a lure dancing across the top. And
