yeah well done all! great day out! ..cheers!..stevo!..

hey boof it might also be the silstar has a bucket on it like a bobcat..gotta keep it as straight as possible or lookout. ..stevo!..

yeah i should of called it leccy tape...a more fisho thingy wangy!... all the best with your new outfit! ..cheers!..stevo!..

yeah boof, silstar is pretty old style................ whats braid??? more replies will be inevitable! ..cheers!..stevo!..

hi boofhead! yeah i got an old silstar overhead setup, rod with rollertip and you gotta watch the tip more than your lawn during an (normal) oz summer with braid,..CRACK!.. and about backing if you want to run straight braid, a good quality electrical tape. 3 winds around spool and she will bite like a frillneck! otherwise a 1/4 to 1/3 quality mono backing same strength as braid with improved blood knot! or your knot of choice!...IMO!.. ..cheers!..stevo!.. PS. i prefer fixed guides. a little more elbow grease but way more flexable!

yeah i"ll second that!...magic!.. ..cheers!..stevo!..

hi raiders! a couple of mates bought this and wondering if any body knew the maker of this boat it is approx, 6.5mtrs.....said to be an ex survey boat in N.T.!....ANY HELP ..cheers!..stevo!..

i also stand corrected not a trev! i reckon it's one of them you know what they said ..cheers!..stevo!..

it was pelican carrying a kingfish...see him there on the median strip! ..cheers!..stevo!..

hi arman! we all feel your pain! ..all the best now though !.. ..cheers!..stevo!..

hi yakfishing! it is also a good policy to have a friend dip your new line in a bucket of freshwater while you wind it on....i am sure you will work it out!...all the best ! ..cheers!..stevo!..

all good stylo! if you are getting spooled by something it means just that! he is too big and maybe time too cut him off!..like i said i'm on 13 kg if he is gonna cost me $80.00....see yaa! talk to ya soon! ..cheers!..stevo!..

hi stylo! as initial line chokes like you do a chooks neck it is not a problem, i am running 13kg line with no slip, so if i get spooled it is a stonker of hell or i have a problem with my reel! you gotta think it is only the initial bite that must maintain hold and the rest will automatically follow on and therefore lay tighter on the spool X 50, X100yards and so forth ..test it your self by hand you will not move it..i could'nt! ..cheers!..stevo!..

hi yakfishing! all good advice above, but if you ever do a full respool and dont want to knot up!(no backing) three winds of a good electrical tape on spool first and i have never had a prob with full braid! ..cheers!..stevo!.. P.S. yes tape gets wet....but shrinks when dry!....

well done boys! were they all C&R if not how do they taste ..never tried them! ..cheers!..stevo!..

hey ceph ! we all know this sport's costly sometimes but what the!! nice king there anyhow! ..cheers!..stevo!..
