Sorry about the time getting back to you my intention is now to just have an alloy cover above the prop I cannot think of the correct name of this item but it controls cavitation and brings the boat up to the plane quicker. Top end speed is not all that important as l will be in a continuous sea swell in Broke Bay
I was told at the weekend that it's cheaper to replace a prop than a new drive sharf. What do you think..?
Thanks for your input

They are 19.95 pound which is about $45 oz dollars so you are paying a bit for freight. Much better choices locally and as for rear drag reels I try to stay away from them. Had several in the past and none stood up to any sort of rough treatment, but this is just MY opinion.
PS I do like the little plastic indicator that plugs into the end of the spool that donates what line you have on it. But that's the only thing I like about them over any other cheap reel.

Thanks for your reply Frank I think I will get the small sharmo bait runner

If you are after a top rear drag sping reel then look at a Shimano Exage. I have 2 and they are excellent. They also have an adjustable Fighting Drag making them in effect a rear lever drag spin reel. The pick is the 2500 RC size. Great reel. They come with 2 spools as well and are very well made.
Hi Taz thanks for your reply, I am very interested in Shimano Exage 2500 RC do you use this reel for black fishing as well.
I have been using a small Penn 440ss matched with a CR 110 FT 4 rap. I have been using this rig for about 5 to six years prier to this I used centre pin reels with a BF 4 144 on the rocks but I gave the rock away getting to old that now I am in my seventies. Just out of interest the centre pin reel was made in the tool shop at the BHP in Newcastle in about 1965.

I watched a couple of utube clips on them but they didn't show too much.
What's the difference between them and an ordinary, rear drag spin reel?
Thanks for your reply GH I have just put in my reply to KB and like I said for $70 I may be the only kid of the block with a Red Drennan float reel.

Hi KB I have been using centre pin reels for years, about six years I started using a small rear drag spinning reel and this is the reason why.
On most reels have a catch on the skirt of the spool a lot of fishos think it’s just to stop the line from unravelling and it may well be, but when I want a short cast against structure I simply do a trial cast and then pull maybe a pull a metre extra line off the spool and clip it into that little plastic clip that way with a bit of practises you can drop your rig up against structure or such like
This is not my idea watched it on youtube under course fishing tect they have developed the reels for this purples and that the is reason why and besides I may well be the only kid on the bloke with a Drennan Red float reel.

Hi all
Could I get some information about Drennan Red Range float or feeder reels my thoughts are that I could use it for luddick fishing rather than a centre pin reel I may even use it for carp as well. I can get one from Great Britten for $70 aust derived

Hi all I have fished Brisbane Waters for the last 50 yrs. A lot of my fishing mates have passed on. I have downsized from my Quintrex Top Ender to a Quintrex Renagade 4.2 40hp Yamaha Minkota Eye Pilot and Humminbird Helix 9. If anyone is interested in having a fish with me they can contact me by email to colbra2@icloud.com.

Hi
in Fishing Chat
Hi all its been some time since I have used this forum, at that time I had bought a Quintrex Top Ender 8.5 or 8.9 metres my memory is fading now.
I have one good friend and that being cargo5.
We have had many talks about all things including fishing not always agreeing ! Shared many camp fires stories
Well I have sold the Top Ender it was getting too big for me to push around, in my small yard. And in its place I have bought a Quintrex Renegade 4.2 with 40hp Yamaha along with a minn kota terrova i pilot and Humminbird Helix 10 Chirp MSI GPS Gen 3.
So with a bit of luck and a lot of practise and cargo5 advice I will be sending some reports both good and bad

Hi Camo I am only on the start of my journey with plastic's I got some 2.5 engine oil grubZ. and 10g 3/0 HeadlockZ might have to put a swivel and sinker up the line if I can not get down quick enough
It is my intention is to try them out at rip in Brisbane Water on Sat or Sun this weekend very rough bottom but it is a small tide so my plan is hit the bottom lift quickley and just YO/ YO the water is shallow right on top of the rip and there are some faults going through the reef. I seen fish on the sounder last week but the tide was racing at the time.

Hi has any one fished out of the caravan park at greenmans valley on the Hawkesbury river via Mount White its near Marlo Creek and Government Wharf I am going there to day to have a look, will take some pictures and try to put them up.
I fished this area in the past and caught huge bream on black crabs..... 20yrs ago!
I am sure plastics would work there quite well. There is a boat ramp at the park. Plus clearing tables.
Would like some input on this just to see what interest there is in this place.woy woy col

G’day Bream
I can’t comment on the Suzuki, however I previously owned a Mercury 40hp 4 stroke which gave me a lot of grief. The motor had done less than 100 hours when I traded the boat, but it had been a hassle from day one. Irrespective of the price difference I wouldn’t consider buying another Mercury. My current boat is fitted with a Yamaha 60hp 4 stroke and I couldn’t be happier with it.
These comments are based on my experience only, others may have a different opinion.
I am with you Cargo5 I have had a number of Yamaha motors 5hp 25hp 15hp and now getting a 70 4stroke all have been excellent hope the 70 goes the same
