Another vote for Yorkes..... In all honesty i dont waste my time fishing metro much anymore. I'd rather save the cash and head to Yorkes. Alot more options and if weather turns your only 20-30mins away from the other side.... Plenty of little bays/areas you can get away from everyone and camp for a couple nights.... Myself and Kuerschie camped at Burners Beach peaceful and water right out the front....

Cheers mate. I was thinking of taking a lighter and heavier travel rod. Then a range of bream size to around 120mm hardbodies and a few plastics. Been watching alot on youtube and starting to get an idea of whats around...

So i have been given the opportunity to get away for the week with the olds to Cairns. We are staying in Palm Cove and being me I will be taking a couple travel rods to have a bit of a flick I will be doing it all landbased and taking lures with me. What sort of gear should i take? What Rod/Reel combos? and lures should I be taking? I know there is a little creek system a couple hundred metres from our hotel that has Barra, Tarpon, jacks in it and I know Palm Cove jetty itself has plenty of fish. But is there anywhere else i should be trying? We will be having a hire ca

Found these on EBay.... hope this helps. https://m.ebay.com.au/itm/5-x-LIVE-BAIT-SLIDERS-Stainless-Spring-Steel-slide-bait-fishing-/112682201074?_mwBanner=1

Ended up getting a 2500 Certate today but it was a toss up between the tate and the Sol. Ended up going the tate purely for as Bratko mentioned being a proven performer. In saying that i probably will end up getting a Sol at a later date but the Certate was certainly worth me picking it up for the price i got it for

Biggest Tuna lures we sell in the shop are the Halco Laser Pro 160dd in the colours Chrome Tiger, Pilchard, Bonito, King Brown and baitfish. Don't Tuna fish myself but our resident tuna expert swears by these colours.... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Im refering to if you are wanting to use the daiwa custom project spools or rcs spools you cant use them on the new range of LT reels as they aren't compatible as i am aware. I could be wrong but just what i heard. Those custom project spools and rcs spools are only compatible with real 4 reels. That's all i was getting at. Some people like spare spools. So was more of a heads up really. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

They do look the goods, they are super light with decent drags on them. When they were released at the Afta trade show they were apparently going to be around the $400 mark. The reel sizing is certainly smaller than Daiwas previous reels. For example an 3-6kg rod would usually take a 2500-3000 reel, however with the Sol rod it balances well with the 4000 sol purely because of the lightness of the reel. But all in all they are certainly a tough reel on face value. Only down side i see with them is that They aren't compatible with the custom preject spools or RCS spools as they aren't

Unfortunately I now have 2 jobs and I will be working right through till the New Year. Only day off will be Christmas day it looks like at the moment. Only upside is the $$$$ so once everyone goes back to work/school I'll have some cash to get away for a bit! Hopefully i'll have some time after work to go chase some beach species locally, if all else fails ill go have a hit down the vines

Nothing wrong with the older models

Picked this discontinued Gem up today.... I love me clearance old school stuff.... So if you have anything you wanna get rid of in good condition let me know

The double clutch is one of our biggest selling lures at the shop. Mainly the 75mm ones... Our supplier is finding hard to get stock from daiwa and only getting dribs and drabs here and there. My fave colours are black sniper, black and gold and iwana... my opinion that they are the most versatile hb on the market.

Any Metal lure will be fine. 99% of Metal Lures you can get under 10 buxs.. Halco, Gorilla, Lazer are some of the brands to look at...

Was a great day and was good to meet fellow Strike Hookers! Nice to meet ya Kidney Slapper we certainly had a laugh or two which was great made the day go even better!

Where are ya mate? Was looking forward to meeting fellow strike hookers! Especially site sppnsors!

Landbased only comp. The event is held at Perrys bend with the fishing area being generally 1km up and downstream of perrys

Daiwa gen blacks are worth a look. Also if you dont want to spend a fortune the Shakespeare slingshot engage rods are a really good rod for the price. Around 80 buxs... but come in a hard cover and have a spare tip. Only downside is they are select in the models but have a 7 foot 10kg stick which i sold to a bloke wanting to chase barra and the likes up north. Absolutely loved it...

I just did a quick look up on the Reels and the going by the specs it will be suited more so for light beach work for salmon, mullet, yellowfin whiting etc going by the line capacity and line sizing. Anything from 9ft to 10-11ft will be ideal and something along the lines of an 3-5kg to 4-8kg rod will be ample. Most of these rods have a cast weight of up to around 40g max. So it would be ideal for throwing small metals at Salmon, but then will be able to throw an ounce of lead plus bait for the likes of mullet, bream whiting etc. Daiwa do a couple rods in that range and within that p

I've sold a few of those Alvey Bags of late :D

C'mon be honest we are all guilty of it! That's buying new gear! What are some of your latest fishing related purchases? As most of you know that I work in the Tackle industry so I am surrounded by it quiet a bit. While I am spoiled for choice unfortunately the pay cheque doesn't allow me to purchase all the things I really want. The biggest advantage however is picking up all the clearance/clear out items before most other people which is a bonus. I picked this Combo up and have been saving for it and i finally picked up the reel yesterday. This will be my new Landb

Be Good for as mentioned Mullies, Flatties, Salmon, Rat Kings , even Snapper etc..... Those Prawn Plastics would be good in the Onk a couple months ago the were smashing prawns off the surface. Certainly not duds mate.....

You need to find a secret spot all to yourself... feel free look me up if you manage to get down this way.. cheers Adrian Had a couple mate. Unfortunately they have been thrashed from social media. Will definitely take you up on that offer. Bucket list is to get a tassie trout.
