R E G I C Y C L E Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 We all know how much we as fishermen/women love new gear, whether it be lures, rods, or boats. What do raiders/deckees think about a thread dedicated to posting pics of new gear and purchases? Just an idea, no offense if it won't work.

R E G I C Y C L E Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Alright this has been moved to tackle talk, so I'll take it as approval and make the first post. New rod I bought last week specifically for topwater lures. Atomic Arrowz Whiting Tip 7'6 4-8lb. Blooded it within hours with a decent flatty on the bent minnow at Narrabeen Lakes. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 No need to ask permission to post new gear purchases here @R E G I C Y C L E, we'd be disappointed if you didn't 😎 You certainly seem to get around on your fishing adventures, enjoyed your last trout report and now we see you are at Narrabeen!

Yes, I enjoy travelling for my fish 😁 Southern Highlands today, scoping out some streams that aren't effected by the winter trout closure. 7 hours ago, Bennyg78 said: love a food topwater flattie hit!!!

big Neil Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Can't complain at that purchase, it paid dividends immediately. One of life's better feelings... work to earn, buy yourself something useful, put it to good use, and enjoy the rewards. REPEAT. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R E G I C Y C L E Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) First baitcast combo purchased today. Thanks @big Neil for the advice. All in for $235! Shimano Cod Raider 642 6-12kg 13 Fishing Origin TX Hopefully I'll manage to land my first Cod on this setup in the near future.

The cod raiders are a great rod, perfect for casting chatterbaits and big plastics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fished for cod unsuccessfully enough already that I appreciate why some people call it the "Cod Grind" Not giving up yet though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
