I wouldnt risk it
Stick with the braid you have used before and that worked for u
I respooled a reel for my last trip to cairns and used a new braid (power pro) and didnt like it one bit had no trust in the line seem to break very easy
Should of just stuck with my boat braid

Yeh but did u create that account when u first setup the phone or did u only do it when u went to make the purchase

Hi Raiders,
Just a quick rant and here we go, I bought a Garmin Android phone and went to their website in search of a silicone cover, YES they have it and it's in the USA.
BUT.......they don't mail to Australia so bugga, quick call to Garmin in AUS and they say they don't stock it. Next I email Garmin USA and explain my problem to which they direct me back to Garmin AUS and the AUS Garmin website to buy this cover, can't get it from AUS site so I call Garmin again and they AGAIN direct me back to Garmin USA. So I email Garmin USA AGAIN and reply back from them is "Sorry we can't help you". Yes they link me back to AUS site once more haha.
All I want is 2 silicone covers for my bloody phone but it seems Garmin has no bloody idea what they're doing, great customer support.......not.
So only way to get this cover is to find someone that lives in the USA to order it from the Garmin website and then mail it to me when they get it.
And to think I thought of buying one of their Marine products, that is a mistake I wont make.
And, tried getting Navionics for my Android phone and 15hrs later it still won't install, sits there verifying, so sent email asking for refund, that'll be another rant
Have you had any luck installing any other apps from the marketplace??
When you first setup the phone did you create a gmail account from the setup wizard?
If not this would be your problem as both things are linked

Thanks Simon. Is that the same DVD that I got with mine? It's basically the Operations Manual on DVD, or is your DVD different?
Russ.
i dont think so
its made by Bennett Marine do a google search for more info on it
they pretty much go thru every thing on the unit apart from side/down scan
-
Russ ive got a lowrance HDS DVD that shows you how to use the unit
drop by work some time and ill let your borrow it
there great units my 8 looks great when sitting over a big school of kings
-
yep they are alot better then the TLD's
better gearing,holds more line better drag
tyrnos has a max drag of 19kg and the tld has 17kgs
and the tyrnos are alot more solid tho they are a little heavier

Caught off mona while driftin for flatty

Hey Simon, where you been fella!
The boat is very similar, just newer and a better fuel injected motor which would probably be a little more fuel efficent. not sure which one ill keep yet. I guess ill wait till it gets here.
Lets fish soon aye!
since im such a nice guy if you want ill take one off your hands for a while
love your taste in boats that "little" Seaswirl looks like a sweet little boat and will be right at home throwing sluggos at the markers in the harbour
i take it your going to rip the bimini off this one as well?
hope all the import stuff goes nice and smooth for you im sure you have done all your homework
im always keen for a flick broken bay is starting to fire up and terrigal should be going off as well
-
nice lookin boat mate
how does it compare to your current boat
the layout looks pretty similar from memory
cant wait to see it covered in fin blood
-
you can come and do mine once your finished Ben

yeh thats fine but i wouldnt be sticking a 18000 on a 15kg rod way too heavy
ive got a little saragosa 5000 on my little 8-12kg tcurve running 30lb
has caught some nice fish up to around 10kg on it with no worries
there great little reels
-
the slower jigging ratio the better in my eyes
the saragosa is a pimped version of the spheros and is a far better reel
i jigged with a saragosa 18000 for a while and found it a great jigging reel the gearing is perfect
i no Dogtooth (john) has caught alot of kings on his gosas
they have no issues with 1mtr kings
-
haha all those people holding onto the rod reminds me of a picture from iwoa jima
def a big ray tho just feels like your winding in a fridge
-
Gday dan
The torsion would be my pick from there range of reels
What depths and jig weights are you planning on using
If u can stretch the budget a little more you can get a great little outfit
-
are you sure thats 70cm
going off the size of the tail i dont think thats 70cm
-
i think either a fast or slow retrieve would work fine
could even just leave it in the rod holder
i would be changing those hooks tho they look crap
-
good work as always mate
-
if your thinking of getting a Spheros and then upgrading it you might as well just go and buy a saragosa to start with
the gosa's are a pimped out spheros and there a great reel
ive got 2 and i love them i have the 5000 and 18000
no need to upgrade any thing they work strait out of the box (the 5000 might need a drag upgrade) i haven't bothered tho
-
How far can you cast a TLD I didnt think they were a casting reel?
-
No the screen size is 4.5in for the bird and 5in for the lowrance, the pixel count is the clarity of the picture in each, so the bird has a clearer picture and picks up more because of the higher pixel count im pretty sure. Have not seen them in the flesh yet, juet reading reviews and looking at pics, will go into a store and have a look before i finally purchase.
Cant afford it man! Was originally only looking to spend like 300 or so importing a garmin 400c but now upping to 450 for one of the other models iv mentioned. The hds 5 is still about 650 or so...
mate take my advise
wait till you can save up the money
the sounder is the most important thing on your boat
its worh being without one for a few weeks and getting better quality gear
im a upgradeaholic i wish some one told me this 3 sounders ago
i run a hds8 and couldnt be happier i cant see myself upgrading atleast for a few months
-
lowrance over HB any day
aussie dolla is strong import from the states
get a hds 5
-
cheers all
got home to find about 5kg worth of new jigs waiting for me
10 days till NZ im pumped
