if you want a really nice rod but dont want to spend the big bucks
Jigging master have a new lower spec rod out called the Ocean God
only prob is you cant get them here but there only $300 + shipping
would be a great rod without paying top dollar
-
as already said the tcurve 500 is way too heavy for sydney waters
and its a broom stick way too stiff esp if your new too jigging if you want to stick with a tcurve go with the 200
the saltists are nice reels but i think the gear ratio is too fast would be fine for live baiting and throwing lures but for jigging you will find you will get tired too quickly esp if your using a big stiff 500gm rod
if you want to get into jigging i would save up a little more money and get a saragosa gear ratio is good 4.9-1

that is how alot of ppl actually retrieve there boats at long reef
drag the boat up onto the sand then drag it onto the trailor
not sure if this person meant to do that tho as i wouldn't be doing it with a nice new fiberglass boat ha
-
looks good
i have pretty much the same trailer
my only question is when are you going to come and do mine

Had a quick session at avoca yesterday afternoon, the salmon schools came in close and there was lots of fun had by all. Pleanty of good fish there up to 70cm, lots of areal acrobatics. I tell you, after fighting 7 or 8 in a row my arms were buggerd. I was casting metal slices and for fun was skipping the lure across the water like a popper and It was awsome to see 3 or 4 fish fighting to get over each other to win the prize. The next few months should produce some fun filled sport sessions.
Cheers

Hey arman I was under the impression accurate only did either side, but never seen a jig master strip down so I'm probably wrong!
then watch these videos
i think ill need to send my reels to slinky when its time for a service
no way am i taking them apart ha
-
deep water is the key
lure them in with live baits once they attack your live bait
do the old switch a roo to a big squid jig
we had some monsters attacking our livies last weekend off broken bay
some of the biggest squid i have ever seen pulling 2-3kg of drag off my reel
-
nice boat
and even nicer location
is that a ramp in there backyard
what are they asking for the boat ??
-
very jealous John
time for a RDO im going jigging
i need my fix
-
nice table of fish there
i thought it was another one of PeterS posts from seeing a round table covered in flathead
well done on a nice haul of fish

Well all I can say is that 4:1 is the best jigging ratio, also you need something that have smooth drag. I mean if you going to spend $300 you might as well spend a little but more to get a good one.
I personally like the Accurate reels also the JM reels they are really good for Jigging in the deep or shallow.
My reels all have been pimp up by Jigging Master in Taiwan.
Accurate 665N
Accurate 870N
Jigging Master PE
nice choice of reels u have there
did u also upgrade to the JMdocking set??
for mechincal jigging 4:1 is ideal
i jigged with a highspeed overhead a few weeks ago and couldnt get the rhythm going
the rod and jig just wouldnt get into the right action
the leather jackets didnt seem to mind
but for my style of jigging 4:1 is the only way to go

scrap that idea
new plan
im going to sell off my garmin and replace it with a big old lowrance
2 separate units on my dash is too much and i would never get around to wiring them up to talk to each other
keep a eye out in buy n sell for a cheap garmin finder/plotter with fuel sensor
-
what about the Raymarine A57D
soo many choices
-
im leaning towards the lowrance
being the gadget freak that i am i no down the track i would like to add the sidescan
when fishing with BillyD he has a HDS5 on his boat and i was very impressed with how it performed and the resolution of the screen killed my little garmin (i blame Billy for making me upgrade)
i also like the fact that its NMEA2000 so i can easily add a fuel sensor if needed and link it up with my motor once i win the lottery and decide to upgrade
just need to go and check out the Furuno and see how it goes i do like all the easy tweaking you can do to them alot less button pressing then on the lowrance
i have a boat place next door to work that stocks both so ill go have a play at lunch
forgot to mention
tho i fish out to around 120mtrs most of my fishing is inshore mostly in the 10-70mtrs
-
my little garmin combo just isnt cutting it for me any more so i want to upgrade
at the moment i plan on keeping the garmin as a standalone gps
im tossing up between the lowrance HDS7 and a Furuno FCV-620
max depth i fish is around 120mtrs i can source either unit for around the same price i have used the lowrance before and i like the units but the Furunos seem to be pretty popular too
i want a big easy to read screen with as much detail as possible
is there any other unit i should be looking at ?
-
a sargent baker that needs a tan ??
-
cool photos
i would of thought the noise from the side scan would of scared them off
might of been what bought them to your boat
-
there great value for money what reel did you have your eyes on
don't think you would be able to get them serviced over here tho
Alan Tani has done some tear downs on some of there reels if you want to see what there insides look like
ive seen the VS-10's for sale over here for around the $240 mark
looks alot like a avet reel but a hell of alot cheaper
-
Well done mate, what is that long thing in the pic? I think I saw you guys out there on Monday, did you happen to loose a Pirteck challenge hat? I tried to get it for you but missed it.
looks like a baracutta
-
nice work great fun catching fish on jigs
but if you plan on eating any of those fish its best if you bleed them on capture
-
the big schools come in around september through to the end of january
October last year was great fun spending the day throwing metals and chasing the fish around
-
