I've had no issues with "fake" power pro. If I could afford to I would buy local but I could buy 10 spools online compared to 1 in store here. I just make sure my knots are strong and use a decent leader.

a 2500 reel is pretty big. get a 1000 size imo. makes catching small fish feel big on sp. st, bream, schoolies etc feel so much better you'll enjoy the fight much more. there also more lighter so you can cast for longer and they will still hold 150m of 4-6lb braid.aernos sp 1000aernos 1000 with the eva handleshimano reels are best value for money and i haven't had any issues with them. have had over the years a sienna $45-50, a solstace and aernos sp $60-70 and the new aernos at about $120.solstace 1000sienna 1000

over 50 in the west lakes I think there pretty easy.

Surely your now not going to put up 50 vids with foul mouth langue just to prove a point.?.

would you prefer I mute the sound lol

over 50 in the west lakes I think there pretty easy.

yes really

they are that easy

suicides

what are you live baiting for? I used circles for Mulloway once and I will never again.

my best from the lake is 40cm which I've done twice. both weighed in at over 1kg. my smallest from the lake is about 2cm and weighed about 2grams.all fish were released.

lol true its a bit early for mullys check my previous threads all the info you need is in them.

How do you find the Revo Smokey? Had a Feel in BCF and they were crazy light.

very light, sensative and an excellent cast. I liked the 1-4kg rod so much i got the 4-7kg rod and put a 2500 shimano baitrunner on it for live baiting in the lake. only thing i dislike about the rod is the casting butt length, being a short bloke i find it annoying having the rod butt pressed right up against me. good rod if you're above 6ft high or have long arms.

the 2-4kg graphite rods at k-mart with cork handles are actually decent. i think there jarvis walker but they are light and cast a mile and have strength to pull in legal mullys. about 30bux i've used my mates at the lake a few times and can cast a mile unweighted cubes of bait. very sensitive rods can feel every head shake and knock with them.

i use a shimano aernos 1000 with 5lb bite motion on a 1-4kg abu revo rod. good combo for under $200 using a small combo lets you feel the true power of the fish

haha needs a marado

Except for Glenfiddich' date=' I wouldn't eat or drink anything made in bonny old Scotland!!Have you seen what they put in haggis???Seriously though, I don't even know what a kipper is, and my ancestors came from Scotland!![/quote']some say haggis? i love it.

Thanks guys' date=' i decided to go to my local tackle store for a couple of reasons.1. they can do a better job than me backing with mono,2. I dont have any leftovers that will go to waste.3. Reel takes a lot more braid than stated on the specs.4. Had to get out of the house. Have been going Mad with this weather.End result $20 for 197mCheersDamian[/quote']sounds like dorsal fin to me

should add they have a lipped spool like most shimano reels. allows the line to fly off the spool with ease. i've cast 2gram jigheads over 50m with ease.

can vouch for the aernos reel i have owned them all 1000, 2500 and 4000 sizes. have caught snapper, mullys, rays, proper salmon, bream, redfin, carp etc on them.I'd recommend the 1000 size if you want to flick lures. it comes with a 2-4kg rod so load it up with 4-6lb braid and your all set. ring your local store first to make sure they have them. i did sell a few over the weekend :silly: 20lb carp on 2lb mono on a sp

nope this was about 3-4 years ago

got a baitrunner reel yet? If your gonna use it yakking a baitrunner makes it easier. they had okuma epix 40 baitfeeders for $99 dunno if they still have them at this price though. either that or a shimano 4000dl baitrunner would be ideal. i use the 2500dl baitrunner and caught the flathead and rugger on 10lb braid the photo i sent you

have caught tiddlers from grange and port noarlunga jettys on bait whilst trying to catch live bait to target them in the onkaparinga and west lakes. :dry: I did live bait for them at grange on this occasion and got spooled by a ray it put an end to my mulloway hunt in the lake that night.

confirmed

yes

the jew fish coz they take skill and patience to catch and the stingrays coz they brake your back
