    i spotted a 12ft 8-12kg rod reel plus fishing line combo from penn that i going to mention for 119 plus delivery online only because im going to recommend this to my work mate who is in need of another combo plus his gear outdated and a good fish will bust his plastic reel thus losing the fish most likey

    got bored as fishings been slow due to poor whether and family commitments

    so made a few lures up thought i whack up a pic or two

    the clear lures are made from un formed plastic bottles

    stainless thru wire (tig wire) coke can insert a sinker for rear weight stainless rings and just back to back hooks and hot glued thru the top

    they are not cut in half they weight from 70 to 85grams and ride just under with a bubble trail cast great too

    just gotta hook a fish on it and i should feel amazing knowing i made it and it works i have used the mother can one only travel thru the water awesome and one of the blokes at work says a stupid fish is gonna eat that i reakon a good fish will time will tell

    i really should have posted it better but spur of the moment thing

    cheers

    From what I remember most English man spool them up with 15lb mono but if I was to have one. I would try 20lb braid / mono depending on reel capacity. Rod just suit your chosen line class round 8 or 10kg it's up to you also if your lb or on a boat too

    @ ginko you can put a sinker under the float above the swivel then attach leader below if necessary but i find it hard to cast and it makes the livey tire faster and it dies eventually.

    For south curl with a moderate high tide i usually use 3 meters of leader under the swivel with the float running free between swivel and the hook. Pin the livey as close to the head as possible (without hitting bone) this makes them want to dive more. done this way the yakka will usually last the whole day if you don't fuss with it too much. Remember kingfish hit on the surface as well so anywhere from 0-3m is fair game!

    With the wind/wash thats just part of a learning curve and how you decide which spots to go to depending on the conditions.. using a smaller profile float ( like a 5cm ish torpedo float ) helps or moving more to another spot and trying a different wash. I also bring the baitrunner which is a spin reel and can be casted if the wash is not cooperating.

    Went south whale rocks this morning.... the wash was horrible as the swell was too low....

    beautiful day again but no fish this time...... thats fishing for you!

    Bait Shop Sydney

    Can't believe I've had to resort to a forum to find a bait shop! I live in the inner west - looking for something closer than Macks Bait Bar at Blakehurst. I don't buy store bait often enough to know what stores are still open with good live/fresh bait.

    Anyone know? Must be open early.

    Cheers

    first where do you fish mainly?

    for its shelf life or best used as bait is 48hours maybe 72 to keep it as its freshest the flesh should be firm still regardless whether its gutted or not

    most likely better gutted anyhow as the gut has no chance to breakdown cause it aint there :biggrin2:

    thats me but
