Noosa Bluewater offshore,great set up good crew and had a ball plenty of striped tuna in the summer and a great experience crossing the bar.

Surely you would include the wife in the package.

Installed some rod riggers to the Battle Axe this arvo. Tuna won't stand a chance now. Good way to get a decent spread happening for small trailer boats that don't troll year round. My soloman Island fishing God good luck charm consumed some beers during the install.

just wondering why bother with the nylex connector sg, no point sharing the hose for garden duties.

The moment you realise you use your boat to much.

Fair chance there is a heap on the 139/coral patch grounds south of the mouth too at this time of year, can remember seeing cray pots full of them.
In terms of the SBT definitely something to do with currents by all accounts the east coast has seen big pelagics in close too.

Go see Keith, he will sort you out, a rod that will last you many years, all the best with the new rod

Yep use a lumo or two  bead above the hook in the body  if you want a surface type lure or a ball/barrel if you want to get down a bi,t the single hook I have always spaced back so its about 20mm or so in the skirt, same as tuna set back cos they will be hitting from behind. hope that helps you out

The little squid type lures you guys talk about are the  white plastic with silver glitter fleck made by Juro tackle company hollow in the middle and can accomadate a ball sinker to weight them if necessary, common use is for a teaser on snook leaded line. Hope that helps ASD

Im not taking anything away from these reels Im just saying that if they want to improve them there is always areas that need to looked at when you pay top dollar for a reel you expect they can deliver what they claim. I have three saltigas  two spin and one o/h because I wanted to buy reels that would last, just want any future purchasers to be aware of these issues , and for the fact I have not bothered with upgrading the drag washers because I don't thing the reel body in particular the foot will handle it  will handle anymore than 30 kg of stress put thru it. Just my two cents worth
cheers SF   

Its unfortunate that the manufacturers of these reels mentioned above wont improve the bail roller issues by going away from bearings and using bronze bushes, as there isn't a bearing strong enough in design to cater for the stresses  involved in using 80lb braid and fishing the reel to its capabilities, I have a Saltiga 6500 exp and its getting patched up again.  for a reel of that price tag I thought I was getting something that was rock solid but alas I was wrong its now on its third set at 4 yrs old. We need someone to keep these guys honest  congrats to Alan H
