Big congrats to Sir Andrew Ang For an absolute monster catch of ruby snappers!
Jigging at those depths with undercurrents is no joke—it completely tests the limits of your gear. It sounds like the Piratez Strike Blood Sword Slower 56/5 proved exactly why it’s a premium piece of kit.

Here is why a rod like that makes all the difference in those conditions:

The Perfect Paradox: Having a rod that is sensitive enough to feel a subtle tap at extreme depths, yet powerful enough to lift a stubborn ruby snapper against a strong current, is the holy grail of slow jigging.

Action Retention: In strong undercurrents, inferior rods just "fold" under the water's resistance, ruining the jig's action. The Blood Sword 56/5 clearly has the backbone to keep working the jig properly.

Beautifully done, Andrew! Tight lines on the next deep-drop adventure.
