  1. ya cant beat the braid for direct contact, the feeling is unbelievable ya can feel every little touch or bump, and it screams off the reel lovely giving you great casting distance compared to the mono.

    having that said, it also means that it puts alot of pressure on your reel. you have to have a good reel and take care of it.

  2. Personally I'd save some money and buy an Abu Garcia Soron STX70, spool for braid and one for mono you get when you buy it. They go for around $200 and are great bang for your buck.

    Even the Shakespeare Sigma 2200 is good and from memory quite cheap.

    You can check them out at Pure Fishing website.

    just wondering, pure fishing do not have an actual store in Australia right? you can only buy stuff from them through your local tackle shop?

  3. I've got a Tyrnos 50 and I love it. I've caught solid Mako's on it, SBT (not barrells though). I did get a 50kg SBT on a mates tyrnos 30 and it was beautiful to use. I've used Tiagras and though I'd love a selection of them, the Tyrnos represent great value to me.

    i agree tyrnos has greater value than tiagra. do not use TLD for marlin, everyone says it will fall apart unless you want to get spooled

  4. The similar thing happened to me. not in worldwide scale but domestic scale. i had a faulty HP computer. i called the sydney hotline which transferred me to an indian call center. those guys can only try to make you calm, but they cant solve the problem for you. I then called the melbourne hotline, an actual person in australia picked up then transferred me to an indian guy again! called melbourne hope line again, this time with the magical key question 'Should i report this to fair trading office?', they put me to their manager which told me they couldnt help me replacing the computer, but transferred me to another malaysian operator who finally gave me a new computer.

    basically, if you say you will report them to the fair trading office and you are losing money because of their action, they tends to be alert and do something about it. hope that helps.
