Sorry i cant help BUT what i will say is stay away from Lube Mobile ........
they quoted me .. $960.00 to replace a fuel pump in my 96 commodore . the mechanic down the road put in a genuine fuel pump for $260 and that included towing the car [ 2 ks] and a battery .
they are a rip off .

mate the way i do it is i either tie off or if its heavy leader i use crimps to attach a bottom hook and with the top sliding one i just run the line through the eye of the hook and then use bait mate [ flexable thin cord sort of stuff ] and wind it around the shank about 20 times .to finnish off i do 2-1/2 hitches . it holds the top hook firmly and slides up and down with a bit of presure .
hope it makes scence .

Hmmmm so much to say so litle time .
hobie adventure ,s are a great yak , But there are more stable yaks around .The pedle mirage system is great ,BUT being mechanical it can ,does, and will break down .Hobie also have a problem with hulls cracking in and around the drive system .This is why me and many other yakkers wont buy them .
now for me i would not want to hook up to fish such as what u want to chase and have the posabilaty of hull or drive failure .rare as it might be BUT it does happen .
also if u look at most of the video,s on the net on targeting these fish they are on paddle yaks NOT peddle .
another thing is u seem to want to chase these fish on a vessel in which u would need ALOT OF EXCPIERIENCE ON . i would recommend that u start off slow and gain some excpierience first maybe targeting the inshore palagics in ur area . hook onto a decent kigie and believe me u WILL HAVE UR HANDS FULL ......
it is not uncommon to be dragged around for 6 or more hrs when hooked on to a marlin . that is alot of ground to cover and return from ....
again i say "start off small and get some excpirience" .

Did you buy the reel from the tackle store you were talking to? If so, they were just being lazy and telling you a load of crap so they didn't have to deal with returning the reel. The new ones off the shelf wouldn't have been "broken in" yet they weren't tight...
Take it back to the store you bought it from and get them to get it fixed. And if it's new, the tackle store that you bought it from has to service the warranty (ie: send the reel back to daiwa). It's actually against the law for them to refuse to and say you have to contact the manufacturer for new tackle warranty issues...
or just tell them to give u another reel . THOUGH i would get on to the manufacturer first and i wouldnt be suprised if they tell u to take it back to the shop and swap it over . this happened to me on a rod .

Late afternoon.... terigal beach
12lb braid ... fishing for tailor to be used as bait for the jewie session that night..... using half pillies
1 cast .... as soon as it hit the water it took of for NZ . 10 minutes later i saw the biggest tail slap i have seen .
another 10 minutes later i saw the biggest mulluway in a wave that i have seen .
20 minutes later and almost landed ......... braid snapped = lost fish .
yes they are there but i think they are more prevalent at night BUT if the food is there i guess they will be as well . [ later that night i caught my 1 and only jewie of 6 kg,s ]
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the memories

no, you dont need another setup.
you need 3 things to land the big kings; Setup, Experience and Luck.
you have the setup, you cant change luck, now just go get the experience.
and when the big one comes along, dont just shit yourself and hang on for dear life, start fighting back straight away and get him pointed towards the boat, fish cant swim backwards. also learn to use your boat to help fight the fish and know how close you are to the bottom at all times.
I have never even heard of a 44kg rod, but to let you know there are plenty of raiders who will be fishing with 8kg snapper rods for their kings this summer.
YEP
GREAT ADVICE IN A NUTSHELL

im no expert but ive heard that its better to use straight through mono as well because its stiffer and floats better on the surface .

i use a small esky [$20] and a coleman camp shower which is battery operated [$15]as a water exchanger .works for me but i have a sit on yak so i have natural drainage .

i agree with everything said thus far it is good advice .
i would also add thow that my go too sp at the moment [ for a year now] is the squidgie wriggler,s 65mm and 80mm in bloodworm .buy a packet from the pro range because u get some rub on scent called ...... i forget
BUT its great....... rrrr s factor is what its called once u get some u can then buy squidgeis for about 4or 5 bucks a packet .
gulps a good BUT i got turnned off spending $12 a packet and only being able to use half of them because therer twisted .

then i reakon the wife would like the 2-4kg
i bought a 3-5kg drop shot .... its nice But a bit heavy for sp bream fishing . i also have a 1-3 kg berkley dropshot and i love it bigest fish so far is a 2.2kg salmon and it handled it no worries .
1-3 kg is better for throwing out lighter jig heads like 1/32 and 1/16 ,s[ which bream love ] but also good for heavyer
2-4 kg would also be good .

Hiles,
I bought a fishing kayak recently - a moken 12 from feelfree - so had been doing a bit of research on brands/prices. For $500 i reckon you'll be looking at the second hand market. You can get a new one for $500 but at that price the quality ain't great. If you go second hand do a search of some specialised kayak fishing websites, they often have dedicated posts for sales.
Good advice and the mokens are a really nice yak ..$500 dosnt give u much option but u could get lucky . have a look also at the main onsite auction web site as u could get lucky .
you will need something with enough room to take a bit of takle with u as well .
i also reakon the sit on yaks are better than the sit in yaks as they are self draining and better for fishing .
goodluck
