The taller spool design and how it lays the line on that spool. I have 2 Ultegra 5500 for surf fishing. They are good !

I turned 68 yesterday. I have earned the right to be Intolerant ! A GOM.
Actually not being Tolerant is a major fault of mine ATM. I have become very aware of it . I am working on it ! Prayers needed !

Good to see you're getting out. If you were on the coal wall you should put a hook in that Tailor and send it back. The Manning is still dirty but slowly clearing. I was at Macksville last week it is looking a lot better. Good news about the bream being fit & healthy. They would be a lot of fun on vibes. Thanks for the report.
I found a float there with a circle hook big enough for a Marlin.

Low tide saw me launch near Blackmans point and run down to the coal wall looking for some clean water. In coming tide brought some clarity but fishing was tough.
Played with my 1 to3 kg rod and prawn imitation's. 1 flathead. Tried a soft vibe, 1 tailor. Tried a bait junkie paddle tail, 2 bream. Biggest 32 c/m. Pure Muscle after fighting the flood waters. Really tough fight. One of the best I can remember !

Ford V holden again. 1 to 2 kilo is a specialist field. I love it. But for fun, not so much if I want a feed. You need experience at catching fish that will take line easily! I taught my Grandkids on 1 to 3 Kg With a lot of guidance. Another line class where you need not to care if you loose a few fish. 2 to 4 Kilo gives you a bit more room for error.
For a beginner my choice is
2 to 6 kg 4 to 14 gram. 10 lb Braid then vary your leader from 4 lb to 16 lb Finesse bream to Jew or big Flathead.
If you like this style of fishing Buy a second more specialised outfit My choice, a 1 to 3 kg !
I have 2 Gen Black 2 to6 Weasels, A 1 to 2 , and a newer 1 to3 kg Drunk Monkey. Plus other 2 to 5 kilo and 2 to 4 kilo rods.
My 1 to 2 kg has 3 lb fluro on it for fun. I expect to loose fish. But the fight is unreal !

Barbara sent me a Birthday card. I had to phone her and say thanks. She asked what I was doing Anzac Day. Fishing of course. " I have never been fishing " was the reply. Naturally I said why not come with me ! Married 38 years in May !
Still fishing together !

Haven't really had a problem even with the Atomic hooks = not silver. I used to give my hooks a squirt of WD40. Worked well. but beware of SP.s ,soft prawns and vibes !!
