I got my wife a new reel, a nice Emeraldas MX 2500, and she wanted pink so I went with Platypus X9 20lb which says on the packet .25mm. When I only managed to fit 40m I thought I'd better investigate. It's supposed to be 0.25mm. The green thicker one is Sufix 832 30lb and is supposed to be 0.29mm. The thin green is Daiwa Morethan PE0.8 (JDM) and is PE1.5, and should be .205mm according to the gou chart. The silver wire is 0.2mm, the copper wire is .15mm so the camera is calibrated correctly and should be for $30k. This is 100x zoom so the edges are not super sharp, but I measured it multiple t

I promised in another thread I'd post the guide. It's covered in these 2 videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wQ66LXFFJw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR3iW2dvai4 As previously stated, really it's the high end reels/rods that make most sense, those items under $300 here won't be any cheaper usually. But over that they can be half the price. However, braid/leader can be way cheaper, so can most terminal tackle. If you do buy a reel it's often free freight, so always buy a reel with line. And that's the main point, freight can kill the prices, so buying with mates m

That guys spams all the facebook fishing groups. IMHO a bit of PVC works just as well. You only want the tube to go a little past the head, say 10cm, then slice the PVC tube in half lengthways and mark the length lines on the inside of the PVC. I have my doubts the fisheze will measure salmon trout or gar, or possibly anything other than whiting.

That seems like a significant under estimate on their behalf. Is it possible it is a case of incorrect spool labelling? Eg. It's not actually their 20lb, it's something like 30lb?

I have an Emeraldas LT 2500 which is supposed to hold 200m of PE 0.8. I have Platypus P8 10lb which is meant to be equivalent to PE 0.8 and I only fit about 100m. Initially it didn't bother me, but I've noticed on long casts I get a lot of drag on the line when the tide is running strong. I've just bought some Diawa Emeraldas Durasensor PE 0.8 and it is noticeably thinner. I have no doubt I'll fit the full 200m.

Been around for a while now - $40...bit rich. Good on the person flogging them off - but I have PVC cut away ones I've made many years ago - Same but different.

I'm same as Softy though mine is the Dreamfish one which seems to be the same and was about half the price of the fisheze delivered site is down atm but is www.dreamfish.com.au

Ahh sorry for passing on the Spam - I just joined a heap of Whiting pages and it didnt take long to came across it Yeah I'd never pay $40 for one, as Ive already got stuff that that does the job - I just thought it was a nice idea for whiting. We were having difficulties measuring flatties on the week end, as my mate had thrown out my Genius measurer. So "measuring devices" were on my mind My measurer is made out of roof gutter cleaner, so you can scoop little flatties off the floor for a quick measure, and flick them over board with out getting spiked - works on whiting too

Not mine but I like it https://www.fisheze.com.au/?fbclid=IwAR3TRabs7cvK5smUs1c_Ml8YXDy6dexhHFbvMWd1UrthMtupHAtjCAEx6Ko
