    We're currently waiting for the 2021 Caldia LT's to show up, they've been on order for a while, think it's this month they should get here.

    I've been toying with the idea of the 1000 Caldia as an upgrade to my Yellowfin luring outfit but then that would mean I'd have to get a new rod as well 

    🤔 new rod & reel, angry wife 🤬, peace & quiet after initial explosion👍,  could be a done deal 😂

    Majority have left the Onk but they'll be back once it starts to warm up.3 of us caught them all the time near the Murray mouth starting in December through to April,some nights a school would come through and all 6 rods would go off.You'll need a 4WD to get there,never forget those fun days of Mulloway plus sharks.

    See the youtube link below from Yamashita regarding Squid jig rattle. The video is in Japanese but has subtitles. 

    Most of my jigs are Yamashita's as I like the quality & the technology that goes into the build.

    I mainly use the rattle jigs when I first get to a spot for a short period then switch over to a non rattle jig unless the water is dirty then I will use the rattle jig pretty much for the session, I'm also a fan of their warm jacket technology.

    I don't think this is a photo, I think its a artists sketch. Makes me wonder if the spool  really holds that little line, would be good to see an actual photo, or the specs.

     

    Could be designed for the JAP market only as they do have reels the rest of us don't get unless we import them ? maybe..

    That spool in the top pic looks almost full already, would struggle to get 50m of cobweb on that. For mine these must be 99.9% gimmick, there is zero benefit to be had which can't be offset on a regular spool by spending a couple of minutes putting on some backing, certainly nothing mentioned above as a benefit apart from set up labour, which is negligible benefit anyway, makes shallow spool better to deep in any way but the risk of being spooled by a fish of a lifetime is real unless you fish enclosed waters with zero chance of hooking a large fish that can get beyond 100m or so of you're rod tip.

    As a genuine fishing  fanatic and equipment connoisseur (my favourite "book" as a kid was the Shimano yearly mag with all the gear featured) I am genuinely interested to know if there is any benefit to the shallow spool so please SHers, educate me.

    Does the same question apply to someone buying a Shimano Vanford deep spool 1000 size spin reel $287 with a full 95m of 10lb braid ?

    I like shallow spool reels, but most of my fishing is finese or squid. Even with a shallow spool reel I fit 150m to 200m of braid, as it's mainly 6lb or maybe 8lb, except for 12lb for squid. I just prefer not to have backing line. And I'm not worried that YFW is going to spool me.

    I'm currently running the Berkley 9X in the 0.8 dia for squid.Using the Emeraldas reel but want to try the Sephia 3000 and due to arrive soon.

    Shallow spools are for finesse fishing and ideal for those super fine expensive braided lines,it also decreases the chances of the thinner line digging into the spooled braid line.

    I think it's when you got 20-30 reels spooled up on a shelf ready to go you just choose the one you need for the species you are targeting on the day

  18. Ultimate Jetty tackle box

    in Bait & Tackle

    Posted

    Could this be the ultimate jetty tackle box ?.

    By adding a cooler bag to the bottom section with some ice to keep food or bait cool would be handy on those hotter days,plenty of room to store some warmer clothing or wet weather gear.Room for torch spare reel,rags and water for washing hands.Throw in some storage trays with squid lures weights hooks and swivels.On the lid you could put on a cutting board and ruler for measuring fish.

    Or use the cutting board for filleting fish or squid while waiting for the next one and throw them into the cooler.This box is weather proof and will not rust also you could hook on one of those alloy lightweight folding chairs to the box so you only have to carry a few rods in one hand and the other on the box handle.These will fit on the back seat of the car standing upright and just put the safety belt on it to keep it in place.

    Bunnings have these and in the link they have a video.
