SCREAMING DRAG from GIANT FISH on light setup. Multiple species jigging from the kayak in Mauritius

Out on the kayak chasing fish with the brand new Nexusphere Phantom jigging rod, the goal was simple… hook a BIG one and really test what this rod can handle. I was jigging with the Nexusphere Concept 60g jig, picking up a few decent smaller fish along the way, but eventually I hooked into something SERIOUS on a light setup. Unfortunately the fish came on the Nexusphere Ocean Hunter, and it turned into one of the most intense fights I’ve had on the kayak in quite a while. Even better — I actually had a previous session where I hooked a massive fish on the Phantom but lost it… and unfortunately lost the footage too 😩 So this felt like redemption. If you’re into kayak fishing, jigging, light tackle fights, and testing new gear — this one’s for you.
