Robbielites Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Scotty 1050 and a 10lb bomb will be all you need in the harbour or bay. Electrics are great if you get serious, but wait till you get serious Round bombs work as well as the sharks. Don't skimp on the clips or else you will be stopping every 10 minutes. Elastic bands work as well as the clips if you take the time to learn how to use them initially. Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
