  1. Im looking at getting a Stella 20000 or a Saltiga Z6000 for kings and some outside work with tuna, trolling etc. Im just interested in some peoples opinions on which reel they would choose and why..

    One particular thing i really want to know is the line capacities of each one? I cant work it out because in the stats, one is in braid and one mono. So could someone tell me what each one holds in mono?

    Thanks for any replys..

  2. Im looking for a small gas outdoor type heater I can take out with me on the boat. Anyone know of any and where I can get it? Thanks for any help...

    Trying to keep the GF happy haha.

  3. So can anyone suggest a proven retrieve style, another landbased location maybe(im not sure if its the right time of year for up Roseville way) or any tips to help me out...it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi mate. I've been getting into a few lately and the most important thing I've learnt is to watch your line and rod tip on the drop, and feel for VERY soft touches. You would be amazed how soft the bites feel for such a big fish. At first I thought they were small bream or something. You've got to strike the instant you feel these touches because they spit the lure out straight away most times.

    I've been practicing for a while now and still miss more than I hook or they get hooked right on the edge of the lip and then fall off because I was too slow to strike. You need reflexes like lightning :biggrin2:

    Some more tips- I use a slow lift and drop retreive and wind down fast to get the slack out of the line quickly. Keep the belly in the line as small as possible.

    Hope all this helps.
