Had a heap of fun yesterday chasing sooty grunter on 4lb, there were a few hairy moments but I managed to land them all.
There is a full report on my blog - http://micksgonefishing.com/2012/07/28/4lb-braid-sooty-grunter-fun/
Here's a few pics.

Been using the 'missus' little outfit lately, 6'6" Ugly Balance 2-4kg/ Abu 442 spin/8lb bandit braid...Never had so much fun fishin, especially with a decent skinny on. Getting to really enjoy using light gear.
