Yeah looked at the Emblem Pro rod, Not real happy with it, Cant remember what I picked out off the top of my head.. The reel to match is to heavy to throw around for long days.

I think you just turned me off a 305, That's just ridiculous... The question is... Did you get another one hahaha.

Let me get this strait... You snapped a 305 on a rat?? No one but 2 305's on rats!!! you have to be shitting me?? what point of the rod broke??? Sorry but I find this hard to believe... I have loaded this rod up in store's (not the same I know) but man it had some power!!! I know it can happen but I have fought some nice size pelagics on light gear and never broke rods. Lost a lot of gear but never snapped anything. Is it a fault with the Graphite in this stick? Did you contact Daiwa about this?

Easy there tiger...

Looks like you had a blast mate! That's a lot of Cod you got!!!!

doing a whole new outfit actually the rod is/will be Daiwa Seajigger 305. I looked at the Emblem pro but to big and heavy... hmm not a fan of Shimano for some reason, Had some bad luck with them. Would like to fit out all Daiwa but not sure if that's going to happen, Recon a TD SOL 4000 would cut it? only 4.9 tho.... finally found a place that has them.

Also sent an email to both of them the other day, It would be GREAT if the done a story on this!! everyone else should email them as well just to put the point across that lots of people are interested in this.

Hey Scienceman If I remember right you were the bloke I met on Narara creek stocking up on Mullet a while back and you put onto this great forum!!! Many Thanks!! If anyone knows a prawning spot in brisbane waters I also would like to know..

Whats everyone using for hi speed spin reels now??? Been looking for a new one and want some reviews. Will be used for slugs and poppers from the stones.. Must be fast!!! Light weight, and tough. Im going from overhead to spin for certain reasons. looking at 4000 and up. Under $400

Thought I would try my luck here, Looking for a place to move into somewhere on the Central Coast for late January, I work In Lisarow, 28yrs old, Male, work Monday to Friday, Away all weekends with other music and fishing commitments. Will be away in Europe for July and will still pay rent, Quiet to live with, have references.. Nothing over $180 per week and near the coast is best... Get in touch via pm if anyone has anything... Also if anyone is looking to move in Jan Feb a new share house could be the go. Cheers Shannon.

They are real mate Im not making it up haha http://www.daiwafishing.com.au/daiwa.cfm?p...amp;product=sol

Anyone know where to pick these up? I have the 2500 but want the 4000 as well.... some tackle stores have told me its getting up to a 6 month wait??? whats the go with that???

Had a good drive around spencer and wisemans ferry today, found a nice spot at WF to pull up for a few hrs, had 2 live mullet out that were not touched in four hrs and got 3 little jew under 30cms on Hawkesbury prawn. interesting place but cut my trip down to one day. need a boat there.

This has made me so angry, And I cant see how they could take this away from us.... This will be the first time EVER i will have made contact with a politician... I seen on the news tonight a member say " no i have never fished" or something along those lines... Maybe he sould get out and experience what a great country we have... STAND UP AND FIGHT!!! Im more that happy to spend time getting petitions signed around my area. would that do anything???

I would say "The S Factor mate" it goes through a lot of styles from flathead, Bream, snapper, it shows all.. Its $25 2 dvds 223mins.

Im looking at going to the Hawkesbury this weekend for the first time. Looking to catch some small Jew to start the learning curve on them and would like to get into some Bass/EP as well. Of course anyone fishing there this weekend would be more than happy to have a flick with them. I will be going down EARLY Sat morn for a big drive around the system "Wisemans ferry, spencer, leets vale, lower macdonald" and so on.. I am shore based so will be walking a lot and will be taking lite gear for a test... Then I will go back down Sunday for a full day of what I hope to be rod bending action! Any tips on Lures to take and bait for through the day would be handy... Tides look to be like this. any hints will help me discover this syste Sat 06/12/2008 High 5:27am 1.25m Low 11:04am 0.69m High 5:15pm 1.39m Low 11:57pm 0.45m Sun 07/12/2008 High 6:22am 1.34m Low 12:14pm 0.67m High 6:18pm 1.35m Cheers Shannon

sorry to invade your post dicko.... BUT would love to hit up the Sydney kings as well! I have from the 18th Dec till 18th Jan off work. Never fished for kings there and would love to give it a go... Have own gear and willing to shout petrol and so on!!!... also up for SP flicking.

Good idea, Also looking for fishing maniacs on the Central Coast.

I use inflatable all the time, They are easy to hike in and out of spots with.. Last time I went down the tubes in Jervis Bay they had about 6 inflatable pools lined up catching Marlin from the stones.

haha Good stuff mate!!! Cant say I have even got a good sized FH like that off the beach... one day when I dust off my wave gear.

That's a nice fish and better than my PB, Or do you have a really small foot and are keeping under sized blackfish haha

Its an adventure all right, I have not done the walk in a few years and my legs are stuffed! On another note anyone who wants to do this with me next time I go down to Canberra (Jan at this point) feel free to send me a message. catching twice the fish is more fun! There is also yella's to be had. I'm thinking of maybe hiking down on a sat, fish through the night with surface lures and bait and hike out Sun.

Yeah that could be alright!!! Not sure if I would get into comp fishing, Guess I should give it a go some time... Boat would help a little... Cheers for the PM as well, Email sent.
