Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just wanted to weigh in on the subject.
I've been using Lanolin grease for years and it works a treat.
It seals, protects, and makes cleaning a breeze after a fishing trip.
It's also non-toxic, unlike most of the cork sealing products, and doesn't change the feel of the cork.

So wondering if the FG knot is really the best braid to leader knot?
It's one of the best.

I wouldn't bother trying to maintain the current trebles, singles and split rings, just replace them.
If you wash and dry your lures after each use you shouldn't have any corrosion issues. -
Samurai rods are a class above anything Shimano Australia has to offer, same goes for their warranty.

It's about time.
Another chip off being a free country.
Don't be ridiculous.

They recently replaced the northern ramp in Thomas Humphreys Reserve, along with adding a pontoon.
That's my ramp of choice if I'm not heading to open waters. -
I got a Versus Meiho VS-3080 Tackle case.

Pflueger just released the new model Trion, $140-160.
-
I would look at the new Shimano Sedona 5000 FE.
It's better across the board, ratio, drag, spool capacity, and it's 35g lighter. -
It's the right time to get a new engine, a number of manufacturers are offering savings.

I'm not ignoring science.
Fluorescent components (cloth) will emit light while being exposed to ultraviolet light, and phosphorescent components (cloth, eyes, feathers, sinkers, tape) will emit light after being exposed to ultraviolet light.
If you're shining an ultraviolet light on a jig before casting it out the only thing you're going to do is activate the phosphorescent components.
You don't need an ultraviolet light to do this as fluorescents, incandescents and LEDs emit more than enough ultraviolet light to activate them.
As for ultraviolet reflective components, such as Shimano's Keimura cloth, that's self-explanatory.
-
As i said years ago, money always wins.
-
The point is that the phosphorescent materials in jigs do not require an ultraviolet light to function.
-
Buy a black light to illuminate your jig - it will increase your success.
All that does is activate the light reactive parts of you jig, which can be done with any light source.

It's the same with bikes, I never ride mine because of the hassle of wearing helmets
It's such a hassle to prevent injury or death.

Totally agree jet skiers don't think about any one else. No respect with rules or speed limits.
Jet Ski users don't have a monopoly on that.

Mandatory life jackets are part of the answer.
A mandatory life jacket is not going to save a guy that's fished/surfed/dived all his life unless he is fishing in conditions that he shouldn't be.
Because everyone who gets swept in doesn't get injured, doesn't go into shock and is able to return to safety without issue, right?
I've been swimming since I could walk and you wouldn't catch me rock fishing without a life jacket.I would hate to see more laws about what you can't do and must wear in our free country.
When common sense is abundant people won't have to have safety precautions thrust upon them.

any particular model guys?
Nope.

Ah ok.
Well my Caves Beach is located at Lake Macquarie. -

They come in three sizes; small (#2.0-3.0), standard (#3.0-4.0) and large (#4.0-5.0).
I bought the small size.
Some tackle stores here are stocking them now, but they're usually out of stock. -
what are those cases?
squidlaw cases made by evergreen.
best ive come across.
That's them.
They are without a doubt the best egi cases on the market, though if you're land based I would say the Versus Meiho is better due to accessibility.

Cork handles on rods - any maintenance needed?

Not after it dries.
