I used the big green shed marine carpet and is good so far. I used artificial turf adhesive to stick it on. my family usually jump on and off the boat when we park up on an island so it gets pretty wet. After and before

I use an alcohol burner to remove old thread and epoxy. give it a light sand and clean, then its ready for new thread and sealant

I found one on google. The hull is a 1992 https://boats-from-au.com/nautiglass/nautiglass-v150-46m-33396

Blaxlands fish is definitely a bonito

I cant comment on the emeraldas, How i do own a sephia combo that i purchased a few years ago from japan before shimano au started selling the range here. It is a bb806m paired with a ss c3000s It is an awesome rod, pretty good reel. I do like it because of the parabolic nature of a squidding rod compared to used a 2-4kg 7ft rod The reel feels nice, light and balanced. the dual handle is a nice feature. The combo is pretty much my go to rod for bait fishing also. catching fish from yakkas to rat kings. Maybe too long for soft plastic. only fish that i failed to catch was hairtails as the parabolic nature of the rod is too soft to set the hooks on hairtails.

Maybe he is leaving it on the boat? I much prefer 1 piece rods over 2 piece, Because i can leave them the boat or slap them on my roof rack. Even my b13ft beach rods

Don’t forget about warranty also

My opinion is that number of bearings in a reel is a marketing gimic. Quality of bearings over number of bearings. More moving parts tend to more points of failure. Some shimano reels are clones of one another with different colour/spool design and plastics bushings instead of bearings and there are few types of bearings out there. Not happy with how “smooth” it winds? Upgrade to ceramic coated bearings

Part number "6289" is the screw in question. Taken from the schematics for the twinpower 1000fb

If thats the case. Shouldnt there be a little screw to stop the nut from coming loose?

If its within rules. I keep them as my kids love beer battered flatties

I have one similar to this. Horrible for the sand. If it was a beach cart i would get one with the big grey balloon wheels i had one when for my kayak cart. And it works wonders

Theres a lot of info about them from a few years back. A review on them from alanhawk. I wont post any links but generally they are mass produced from a chinese factory and if you buy a certain amount you can choose your own colour scheme and put your own branding on them.

I wouldnt touch tuff tackle with a 10ft pole. Sorry

Didnt go to turon when i planned to. Maybe this weekend i might give it a crack

Nice work. Im planing to go 4 wheeling to the turon river next week. Any tips to fish there?

PE rating is not line rating. Its more to do with line diameter as the chart @Green Hornet has posted

Graphite is a form of carbon. Not exactly the same thing.

Good luck with your project!

All good. My mate has a 24v motor guide. He uses 2x135ah batteries never knew these motors require such power

Maybe aldi has installed a listener on your phone like google and facebook. I was gonna give the aldi batteries a go but they werent on sale when i set up my triple battery set up in my 4wd. I dont see anything wrong with it. It could just be a rebranded battery from another company. just curious. Why does your motorguide need 2x100ah batteries? In serial or parallel? 200ah/12v or 100ah/24v?

Yes. A tackle shop owner (a wont mention name) went through this a few years back. He was fined at foreshore boat ramp for having multiple game rods ready to attach lures. He challenged the fisheries and the fine was overturned.

So its ok to ignore the law for your own personal gain?

This. It has been this rule for a long time now. not really that confusing. Pretty much sums up aslong as you have 4 rods rigged and ready to go you are fine. And you can have as many rods as you like “pre rigged” as in rigged up to a snap swivel where you need to attach a hook/lure or sabiki jig. You are fine
