Hi guys Was at the local tackle store the other day stocking up on terminal tackle hooks, leader, sampo's, crimps etc I was trying to decide weather to buy plastic tubing or springs and thimbles...soo i bought some of each. Is one of them better than the other? Which do you prefer for live baiting and trolling lures springs/thimbles or plastic tubing? I will take some photos of my rigging when i get a chance and post them to show how i do it. cheers james

Does it say what kind of drag it puts out? cheers james

Using light gear on dollies 6-8lb can suck at times...from memory crazedfisherdude got smoked at the close botany fad last season on a 80-90cm dollie from memory??? correct me if im wrong. I started out using 30lb gear now im using a penn captiva cv 4000 loaded with 8lb braid plenty of line capacity and a diawa apollo rod. I know blokes that use 2500 sized reels and 4lb braid for this work and do fine. cheers james

Sorry mods if this isnt the correct forum for this topic...wasnt sure where to put it. cheers james

We used to tow a 6 meter haines hunter fibreglass center console with twin 90hp yammys loaded with 220liters of fuel, fishing gear, 4 blokes and all the other bits and peices..towed fine When we went on holidays up to portstephons she would be loaded with fishing gear, bikes, clothes, food, esky's, furniture for our caravan HEAPS of stuff.....would have weighed in excess of 2400kg and the territory towed like a dream FISHLIPPS...myself and my dad met you back at the ramp a few months back when we took our tabs seascape 602 alloy with a 150hp yammy 4stroke out for her first run on the bay...we approached you as we saw your sticker. We used a 5 speed tiptronic territory ts to tow that 4liter inline 6 cylinder rear wheel drive, same veichal used to tow the 6 meter haines. Weather highway driving, driving around streets/city...on boat ramps the territory performed great. It even performed better than our old nissan patrol 3 liter turbo deisal, automatic 2003 model.....we used that for the same work as the territory...sluggish as hell, always having problems with the turbo overboosting or underboosting,,, overheating...suspension in the rear was $#!t...i hated being in this veichal when towing. Territory definatly the go. My dad works in the automotive industry for ford. If you would like any information PM me and i will get back to you as soon as possible. cheers james

Thanks again luke...had a top day....kings, salmon,sargent baker, sweep, whales, seals AND you can't forget that MASSIVE school of horse yakkas off the lighthouse. Had a great day, weather was great aswell as the fishing. cheers james
