I understand what your saying,I think it tangles when casting the leader wraps the mainline,so your idea with a sinker on the leader helps keep them apart,I will give it a go next time I'm out, cheers

Hi there i recently started using braid and often use a simple setup with a running sinker and long fluorocarbon leader, I found that my leader often gets tangled with my mainline,I'm not sure why this happens and wondering if anyone had this problem and may know a simple solution.i have spinning reel with 10lbs braid and 8lbs leader. any help is appreciated

It's definitely Carbotec,not carbontec or rovex,I am familiar with that brand .

I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about Carbotec rods, i picked up a second hand 7ft rod and have never heard of this brand. Cheers

Thanks Jewdreamer, I will take your advice and take my rod to the store to find a suitable Alvey,i think this will save me alot of money in the long term, i really enjoy beach fishing and i am keen to learn as much as i can. cheers Much appreciated

Hi there I have a 11ft fibreglass surf rod that has quite a low mount for the reel and I was thinking it would work better with a small alvey rather than a spinning reel, im was wondering what the suitable measurement from reel mount to the first guide to be ok for alvey casting (my rod is 115cm mount-guide) it has a nice soft medium action for surf casting. i was doing some evening beach fishing and my sand spike fell over and drowned my Okuma spinning reel and the bearings have sand in them,I found a tackle store that can have it repaired but it's not cheap,hence why I think it's a good idea to get into Alvey reels also what model Avey(not expensive) has a functional drag for light/medium surf fishing. any assistance is appreciated

I'm thinking to hit narrabeen beach over the weekend for a afternoon evening fishing,does it get really busy with fishermen there,I chasing bream,tailor,salmon. i have never fished there and any advice is much appreciated thanks

Thanks Mr Mullit, i will be staying very close to moona moona creek so will give it a go thanks for the advice

Thanks Hornet,I have a annual national park pass, your advice is appreciated

Do you think it's worth fishing moona moona beach near huskisson lake afternoon/night ? i will probably be staying close to that location

thanks Green hornet,i appreciate your advice,i will check out those spots cheers shane

Hi there, i am planning to head to st georges basin/ jervis bay area soon for some fishing,i will be landbased and have good estuary fishing gear and beach rods also, i need some advice for suitable locations to fish i have not fished st georges basin at all,i am keen to explore the area ,my plan is to stay somewhere around huskisson so i can easily access the basin and jervis bay,i am not a rock fisher either, cheers shane

Thanks charlie

Hi there, i am just new to squid jigging and am headed down to Ulladulla lake Tabourie in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone can help me with some landbased spots to catch some squid with my family cheers

South coast around lake Tabourie way,would love to live there

i dont plan to use a jighead as to allow the worm to move around more naturally in the wash,seen as there is already a running ball sinker.

Yeah that's exactly what I mean fufu

Is it suitable to rig them on a traditional running ball sinker rig in the surf with a long leader. ?(berkley sand worms)

Thanks luke, like savit said the pliers are worthwhile,I was putting a swivel on a twisty today and separated some skin underneath my fingernail,ouch...we live and we learn

Hi there I picked up some berkley blood worms last time I was in Kmart and will give it a go when I head to the south coast next month for beach and estuary fishing, are they worthwhile? im interested to hear people's impressions of this soft plastic bait cheers

I noticed you use single hook rather than a treble,do you think that works better

A big thanks to all who have replied to this thread,your assistance is much appreciated, im rather keen to start lure fishing ?

Hi there, i am new to lure fishing and have purchased a few soft plastic lures and some halco twisty metal lures, i really enjoy beach fishing(bait) and thought this would be a good way to start lure fishing, i have a few questions,should I tie these lures directly to my line or use a snap swivel is something else so to easily change to different lures? and what about hard body diving and soft plastic lures, any help is appreciated thanks.
