fill it with 10lb braid and use 1.5 mtrs nylon trace up front to tie too...you will get probably 300mtrs of braid on..10lb braid normally breaks higher than 12lb so you will be able to work it well thru your rod..your questions on tackle selection are fairly broad.and.hard to give exact answers..best idea is to target a certain species as you will have more success than just throwin an hopin...rick

sst charts are howing 19.0 dgs out front of here but around moon island on sat it was 16.1 at lowest....the n/easters can cause this by pushing water into beaches that curve and act like a trap..we call it rollover effect the cold water gets turned over from the bottom...it happens every couple of years when a finger of warm water pushes down the coast and sucks the colder water back up the coast in close..rick

footrests I would think..rick

cant hurt...do you have too much weight in the rear..ie fuel two batteries..too big a motor..??????...can you move weight forward..is your motor trimming in all the way or is the pin out one or two holes out...rick

I was going to port stephens but pulled out and launched in lake mac..the wind didn't die fri night like I hoped...we went and pumped squirt worms while the tide was low..it was freezing in the water up to our waists at daylight...the water coming in was 16.5 in the channel area..we took off outside and trolled and fished for a couple of hours with no results..water was green and cold 16.1 no fish anywhere so back into the channel and anchored in the shallows for whiting..we ran out of worms all too soon but had 4 nice whiting each all round 33/38cm and very solid..didn't take any fotos but will try and take some later at weighin...we tried to spin for flatties in 25 knots of n/east howling down the lake..there was no joy on the lizards with not even one bump between us in 4 hours..bloody wind.....rick

50w will hold 1000mtrs of tiagra 24kg very neat...braid can be used but imo it gets wet and sits buried under topshot and doesn't dry out..rick

one way non reverse bearings cant be disengaged..thats why they are called one way ??

I was under the assumption a mopoke was a tawny frogmouth...rick

Nowadays they have one way bearings in the rotor so you cant wind backwards...rick
