Nah, there's some large ones lurking around. They hang around all year, but in fewer numbers. I do a mixture of sweep pause, slow wind, fast wind, and long arcing sweeps and a jagged side to side (believe it's called walking the dog). They work well off the beaches to.

It casts a absolute mile, because it doesn't dive much, it's great for casting off the rocks and fishing rocky areas. Its great for kings, salmon, tailor, bonito. Got a good action. Just all round great lure. I also use some nomads

This one is by far my favourite Rapala X-Rap Long Cast Shallow Hard Body Lure 12cm Silver Blue Mackerel HD

$250 inc spooling. Mates a Shimano dealer. I'll let you know what I end up choosing, and I'll see if I can find those abu's and DM you where they can be found. Thanks again for the great help

Went and grab a saragosa last night, got it on a huge discount 😉. Then going up the coast in a couple weeks on bday to go pick out a rod. So far though, the saragosa feels a grade above the slammers.

Kings, tailor, bream, whiting,

How long is the rod? I send out 50g jigs on a 150-300g rod, but it's close to 9ft so I can maintain a reasonable distance, but in saying that, I am changing to a different setup. Because that rods for lifting kings up onto the rocks. Anything silver is best for Bonnie's, like the halcos.

Additional pictures attached below.

For sale, alvey snapper reel, fibreglass and stainless steel, paired with a Berkeley cherry wood rod. Combined $80 ono. The reel is in good condition, but is showing signs of cosmetic wear, as depicted in the pictures. The rod is also showing signs of cosmetic wear, but all the guides are intact and in good condition. The rod is 5ft 3" long and has a line rating of 15-30lbs. Pickup is in Cherrybrook, but if needed, postage is available, but pickup is preferred. Also i would prefer to sell as a combo. Please contact me here.

Yeah, but considering I can get the Saragosa for $20 extra than the spheros, of there's no other benefits, I know which one on picking 😂.

Looking at the spheros, it's only 5g lighter than the same size Saragosa. Is there any other benefits of the spheros over the gosa? I can get the Saragosa for the same price as the spheros. Will reply to the rest when I get home.

Are they the $4 hooks from the 4 letter department store? Because if they are, I've had them bent straight by trevally off long reef. They used to be a lot better but recently I've found that they snap or bend.

I've used double unis on kings, snapper, rays. Never had an issue. Even double uni braid to fluro works well for lighter line. Light - heavy leader defeats the purpose of using light leader. You are just introducing another weak point into your line. You are best just to go main line to heavier leader, try 6-8 lbs fluro. That will give you a better chance than 4 lbs.

My guess for that Yakka would be a ray as it looks a bit squished. Crabs tend to year chunks off, whole other fish also tend to take chucks out as well.

Wouldn't you Wouldnt you just do a double uni knot? If going mono to fluro? Just so Im understanding the issue, are you trying to do braid -> light leader -> heavier leader Or braid -> heavier leader -> lighter leader? So if your loosing gear, due to the leader snapping, the fatties are biting through your leader or breaking you off. Or are you trying to make like a sacrificial leader that goes to your hook and has stronger leader between that and your main line?
