  4. cheers mate. Just looking at a general idea of how people go about buying gear.... Got a few things up my sleeve. just getting ideas and opinions from fellow fishos
  5. Would you buy plastics similar to zmans if they had similar characteristics to them?
  6. Hi all. Just out of pure curiosity when you need to buy new fishing gear whether it be rods, reels, line, terminal tackle etc. What do you look for? Are you a one eyed brand named fan eg. Daiwa/Shitmano..... I mean Shimano..... Do you just buy whatever is on special? Ever purchased unnamed branded items? Would you buy an unnamed brand if it looked decent and was at a good price? Would love to hear your thoughts and views on this.....
  7. Hi all. Just out of pure curiosity what Soft plastics and hardbody lures do you buy? And what species do you target with them? When purchasing do you buy good quality? whatever is on special? no name brands? What styles do you get ? Flcikbaits, grubs, creature baits? Shallow diving, deep diving etc? Would you purchase an lure that is an unnamed brand that looked decent quality and was at a good price? Be interesting to hear peoples thoughts on this....
  8. Nice one mate! Such beautiful creatures they are. The scenery is also on point
  9. Cheers mate..... All fell to a pink Z man Grub.... All 3 were caught in the exact spot each cast. Not sure if they were doing there "thing" or was just right place right time....

I like fish upstream of the river because of the low tidal movements, the abundance of Resident fish and the fact there are plenty of spots to easily access and fish from. Plus there is plenty of Snags and structure for th
  13. From what i'm aware Most of the tackle stores send customers reels to get serviced by Rob Wilson at South Oz Rods. If it is a Shimano Reel or Daiwa Reel depending on whats needed they get sent back to the company and they service them.
  14. Only difference between the 2 rods are the prevail has "casting" K series guides and it has a gloss finish. same blank to my knowledge. I have the Allegiance and never had any dramas with it. I don't think the guides make to much of an difference, its more Wank factor look then anything. but If you can get a prevail for around the same price as the Allegiance you might aswell go for the prevail!
