They're excellent reels mate ! You won't be going back to shimanos after that.

Well done.... I haven't read the report but your pictures are worth a million words !!

I'd say go to the electric option as Iceman says it's easier to control and... it's better for the environment They are also more silent than the outboard engines

Looks like a munched up Yakkas to me

Yes that's correct. so far the best price is $230

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone have any contacts or a reliable supplier for Delkor batteries. I'm in the market for 2x Delkor DC31 Cheers

Good to hear that you're looking after her she does pretty quick on full throttle just be careful of those wakes, or you might find yourself airborne She's got a 40HP Yammie 2 stroke Phil.

How's she holding up Steve ?

Hey Nexus go easy on the new guy will ya... He might not be online since he posted it, and there's no reason why he should tell everyone.

I think the right technique is whatever works sometimes just letting the plastic sit there works. I do have to add that proper presentation when rigging up the SP is very important i.e making sure that it's swimming straight, not spinning around when winded in, etc....

Hi Paul, Try this http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/schematics/...tate%202500.pdf but that's for the 2500 Why do you need the schematics anyway ?

Check this footage out... http://youtube.com/watch?v=NgXP-zC0WoA

Haha Tony, I've taught my gf to clean a fish last week and now she catch them bleed and clean them all by herself. Leatherjackets are good eating but they are annoying when they chomp down your live squid.

Good going Jorg and Mike !! Apparently they grow up to 15lbs in the a shop check out youtube and search for peacock bass, and they do an amazing aerial display too. Wish our bream can grow that big...

Nice one Habib !!Very nicely done. it's a pity you can't do pre-work session anymore since your workin on the other end of sydney.

also try to go there on the right tide. high tide works best as the shallow areas will be covered by water.

I like the 4" Berkley Bass minnows.. or the 3" depending on what they're feeding on.

hhaha nice one Robby... now you need a real fish on it.. you'll be in our shoes in a few years mate so enjoy while you can

Right on.. looks like he's game fishing sitting on the milk crate with the pump and wind action.. !

She was enjoying every moment of it Iceman she got sore arms and her heart pumping from all the adrenaline rush Ali, I'll be there Friday weather permitting.. the Branzino is still locked away in my cupboard Matty... I'm not letting her catch a fish on it before I do Squido, I got 12lbs on the rod I was using.. I might have to upgrade her whole outfit or do a swappy with me since she's getting all the hookups

hahahhaha nice one !! I'm back there again tomorrow morning!! did he have a size 8 panfish hook with abit of leader hangin on its mouth ?

went down to our usual landbased spot this morning with the girlfriend for a pre-work session. started by jigging a few frogmouth pillies for bait. The day started quite slow, my girlfriend got pulled around by a decent trevally and I think I got done by a trevally too. all went towards the pylons At about 6.45am something tapped on her bait and the thing took off !!! and kept on taking off peeling the 4lb fireline right down to the backing, her drag was already tight and I've upgraded the drag on the stradic to carbontex. Unbelievable !! whatever it was, it was something decent. I managed to land a small trevally model about 30cm+ and she lost a few trevallies later on, she definitely get more hookups than me I'll have to upgrade her rod and reel I think hehe looks like I have to come back with a Tiagra next time around here's a footage of the fish taking off, watch the line turning from pink fireline to mono.

well done on the surface fish guys ! I found whiting to be more "accurate" when hitting the lure, unlike bream who might have a go at the lure a few time before hooking them up

I got the reel back from Daiwa. Just less than 2 weeks... free of charge. and they even ship it over to my work place. How good is that... !!! Thanks for the excellent service Daiwa !! injay the repair dude I was dealing with was Raef Johnson, top customer service, he actually replies to your email.

Hi All, Thought I might ask the question here. I've been looking around for a spin rod 7' as a preferable length with line ratings of 15-20lbs. it'll be used for spinning kings in the harbour or landbased. will be used on a 3000 size reel. I've had a look at 3 of these rods: - daiwa saltwater rods: nice price, components but hate the colour on it - g loomis pro blue saltwater: nice blank but poor workmanship and components for the money - nitro viper: alright rods but not my cup of tea. What others would you recommend ? had a look at majorcraft off blow.. pity that they don't sell these rods here. with that price and components it would be a big hit in australia.
