    I found out the answers to my questions

    The Simrad GO7xse has all the same features as the Lowrance 7TI except the lowrance has buttons as well as the touch screen. Mounting is slightly different to they have different brackets and the Simrad lends itself to being the better flush mount option as it is sleeker.

    I was having more of a look at the good value touch screen sounder/gps that can run the new totalscan transducers and it looks like there are two options very similar. So similar I am wondering does any one know which is the better unit out of the new Lowrance TI touch and the Simrad GO7 XSE?

    The new lowrance elite ti in a 7 or 5 inch should do the job nicely the unit can power your normal depth sounding, structure and side scan incorporated into the total scan transducer. Personally I would go for the 7inch that way it is not to small when you split the screen and good value at $1200 rrp including a map card

    Electric reel deep drop

    Yep I saw the miya epoch they look like a robust but of kit but out of my price range as I am after two not one. Also I am going to try them on a stand up broom stick to start with so will be holding the rods rather than sticking them in the rod holders

    Has anyone had any issues with the swivel top tips jamming the braid? I have heard one bloke complain about that...my thoughts were if you made sure it was a good quality aftco swivel tip and didn't try and set the hook by jerking the rod it might not cause the jam up?

    Also I am wondering if anyone has experience with the deep drop bent butt rods is a shorter 5'6 rod preferable to a 6'6 rod assuming sinker weight is around a kg?

    As the title suggests I am interested to talk about deep drop electric reel fishing. I would be particularly interested to hear from anyone that has used the banax kaigan 1000 and a Daiwa Tanacom 1000.

    I am looking to get two electric reel set ups for deep dropping for blue eye. So far I have worked out that there is not much difference between a tanacom bull 1000 and a tanacom 1000 except for the colour and the jigging function so I am trying to work out any major differences between a banax and a Daiwa with out having to buy one of each and find out the hard way. I have had a play with the Daiwa and noticed it is made in Japan, not sure about the banax? When I have seen the Banax side by side I did think that the banax looked a bit bigger but that's about it.

    The Daiwa Saltist 6500 is more comparable to a Saragosa or Spheros 18000 in size. A fair comparison would be a Shimano 8000 to a Saltist 4500.

    I like the look of the Shimano Stradic 8000 in the smaller size

    And the Spheros or saragosa 18000 in the larger size reels

    A worth while exercise is

    To google Alan Tani and the

    Reel you are interested in he has pulled apart most reels and can give you an unbiased review

    Cheers

    The 14000 goes for around $230.

    They aren't a bad reel with the drag upgrade.

    The best I have found the 14000FB is for $269. They have a new design for the spool and a new set up to lay the line better. I also noticed the anti reverse switch has been removed all together and the paint work has a different finish.
