  1. since braid is alot thinner then mono you can fit more braid on it

    or if you wanted you can fit a much stronger braid onto the same size reel as its alot thinner then mono

    hope that makes sence

    but as said above you have to be carefull that the reel and rod can handle the line

    when using the line spec from the reel if you fully lock the drag on the reel chances are the line is going to snap soon after

    but if you put alot stronger line on the line isnt going to snap like before either your rod or reel will

  2. ive never tried them as food i normally just use them for cut baits

    might have to give them a go next time im out there also heard they make decent sushi

    weather permitting hopefully be hitting up the fads in the next few weeks

    Dave if ya need some company give me a bell

    heres a map of the location of the fads to give you some idea of how far out they are from BB

    the BB fad is 22.6km out directly from Palm beach headland and the terrigal fad is 29.7km from palmy

  3. yeh there is the issue with snagging but the main reason they took the singles off the bottom is that it gives the fish too much leverage

    the idea of the single hook on a split ring is so that when a fish takes the jig and connects with the hook the hook is directly attached to the line and the jig just swings free

    but when you have caught a fish on the bottom hook on the jig it gives the fish the ability to pop the hook out of its mouth using the jigs weight to pop it out

    you will still catch fish using the bottom stinger but this is why most of the jigs you buy this way are rigged this way

    gives alot better result

  4. scotty 1050s is the most popular downrigger on the market

    the models below this in the scotty range are made for lakes and aint made for holding the bigger 10lb bombs needed at times when the current picks up

    the models up for this are made for fishing deep sea where you need bigger bombs 12lb+ and they have a high line retrive compared to the 1 foot 1 turn that the 1050s have

    never tried the penns but ive heard they do the job same goes for the walker

    i have 2 scotty 1050s on my boat never have ne problems with them

  5. G'day Ray
