Hi Everyone
 
I'm new to this site but manly fish in the river and a bit of surf fishing.
 
I'm looking at buying a new reel in 2500 size and have be suggested to get a Daiwa ballistic ex. I haven't been able to find one in a shop to play with so any opinions would be good. My other option is to get a Stradic let me know your thoughts.
 
Cheers Southy

The August Salmon Comp is now on!
 

 
Post up a salmon report but a little bit different... with all the Strike & Hook gear out there we'd like to see pics of you all wearing your gear with your salmon catch. It can be a cap, beanie, t-shirt or hoodie.
 
This month's prize is a cool salmon combo. A Daiwa Megaforce 962MFS (9'6" and 3-5kg) matched with a Daiwa Revros MX 3000 and as always a SH cap and beanie! The Daiwa combo is a great way to get started with salmon lure flicking or an excellent second setup to flick around while another rod is soaking a bait or for when your non fisho or unorganised mate comes along.
 
As there has already been a week gone (sorry guys work is killing me) we'll run the comp into next month a little bit to make up for the missed time.
 
Don't forget the Strike & Hook Salmon Day this weekend, this could be your chance to get a photo and put up a report.
 
As a little incentive, I'll be taking a bunch of SH caps down to Waitpinga and giving away a cap to everyone who catches a salmon and gets a photo taken Only one cap per person and until we run out.
 
We picked up the Daiwa combo for a great price at Fishing Wholesalers. They always look after us so please head over to their website www.fishingwholesalers.com.au and check out their cool gear and if you're on Facebook head over there and like their facebook page www.facebook.com/fishingwholesalersaustralia.
 
I should add due to the nature of this prize it is going to be pickup only from Fishing Wholesalers at Lonsdale.
 
Good luck everyone
 
 
 
And yeah, I know I'm no fishing show host but there was this dude wondering around while filming that kinda distracted me. Especially when he walked right past the camera while I was filming
