With a strong westerly blowing being at southport may pay off for some salmon.i did catch a big one there 6/7 weeks ago at night,was a calm night.

What i had read was standing on a beach in direct sunlight during those long hot summer days.But for some reason this line suffered more then others,as for any other info would have been handy.But as i said i'll be night fishing going after those big predators so the line won't be any issue for me.

Ok guys thanks for all the info,nothing like getting info by actual users of the product.Even though i have ordered a few lines on line now and wait for delivery i think the Platypus Super 100 is worth buying too.Even though reviews have mentioned getting brittle in hot climate but most of my fishing is at night which shouldn't effect the line.Thanks

You have a dodge starting friday going into saturday.I'd go sunday 9.30-11.30am.

I purchased one of these from BCF as my second reel in the 80 size for shark and mulloway.The 55 size is a good size for you unless you think the 80 might suite more.9kg drag.http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/products/Okuma-Vecta-Spin-Reel-VT-55.aspx?pid=130988&menuFrom=30201&variant=true#Cross

NoBut thanks for the link.

Lines do vary a lot in thickness and 20lb can be as thin as .29mmhttp://www.xzoga.com/monofilament-lines.html

How about the SUFIX XL STRONG .is that better then the DURAFLEXhttp://international.sufix.com/fishing_line/precision_performance_mono/xl_strong/I was very keen on the Platypus line but some forum user reviews said it goes brittle if using in hot climates.

PLATIL..i haven't heard that name for yearsI should know more about the mono lines but most of my fishing over the years has been boating and which line you used wasn't that important.Plus i used braid.Things seem to matter more when spinning of a beach which bought about this question.Doing a bit of a search this arvo i did come across this line which sounds good...Near-zero memoryhttp://international.sufix.com/fishing_line/precision_performance_mono/duraflex/

Thanks CrusherStretch won't bother meI should state the differences between two lines i have fitted.Stren original 20lb .46mm thick, soft supple line easy to useDAM mono ..20lb .35mm thick ,harder stiffer line but likes to twist but i get a extra 100m on the spoolPSOk just searched the Platypus Super 100 info shows 20lb and it's .31mm , Now that looks promising.

Looking for a supple line which holds little memory but needs to be a thin diameter.I've been using stren original 20lb (.46mm) which is great but having a thinner diameter puts more line on the spool.I have tried some thinner lines but they hold memory and twist a lot.Do you know of some brands worth a try?cheers

Sure would be nice if they are lending them out.

Good thing about Penn you can still get parts for reels 30 years old.

Finally some pictures from Penn's new long spool surf casting reel.Size is the 6500 V.Due to retail next Year.Only one size to be released at this stage for the surf casters.

Those V series or the SSM reels will handle all fish which we have at our metro beaches .

You need a stella to catch a snapper ?

Sponsors to come on board and give away a monthly prize.Or a site raffle for a $100 plus value rod or reel. Sleepy forum needs some excitement to go.

If it's being used in chucking bait then that rod is only rated to cast 2.5oz of lead incl bait.

I seem to have found an interest in fly fishing too

As requested i have put up the info for a pulley rig but others may see what these do and how easy they are to make your own.For me i still use 4 or 6oz star sinkers for goolwa or waitpinga.I have tried various clips for pulley rigs but these are the simplest to make and use.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUBIMcwsi2Q&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpRXdGhuRjc

You'll want sea conditions with a calm day and low tide

If you wanted a reel that can last for many years..Daiwa BG60/BG90 or GS9
