  1. Completely agree @Des I have always used the Siglon x8 on the flats for YFW, but am slowly shifting over to Siglon ADV as re-spools are required. Only thing I don't like (and it's real 1st world problem stuff) is the lack of a hi-vis colour in the line up. 

    It's smooth, casts well and is good for tying knots.

    Have you tried the newer infused "adv" (I think) stuff? I've had one outfit rigged up with 20lb for about a year now, so far I'm super happy, it is still in great shape after reasonable use and definitely a bit more slippery than the regular PE8 but it'll be another 2 or 3 years until I'll know how good the longevity is.

    Yeah mate, I currently have a 2500 spooled with 10lb multi colour and a 1000 with 6lb turquoise - I may have actually done it one your recommendation actually hahaha.

    Initial reactions after 8 months or so, pretty good. Only thing I don't like, because of the colour, is I struggle to see the braid the moment there is any glare on water - so early morning yak sessions or any overcast conditions can be quite frustrating. But knots, smoothness, castability etc. All good and so far no wind knots.

    If only it came in a Hi-Vis colour like fluoro orange, green, pink etc.

  3. I bought a handful of TRD Crawz packs and some Ned Rigs for exactly this @Soobz. Essentially the Ned Rig just presents the SP vertically which arguably helps it "waft" in any available current.

    There is a specific KGWs on SP podcast on the ALF if your keen. Highlights some tips that may help.

    You get some good sized KGWs as bi-catch when targeting Bream in WL, down the Trimmer Parade end. 

  4. I have fished with a guy who refuses to throw out unused bait, so more often than not he is using re-frozen (sometimes multiple times over) baits. Whether it be squid, cockles or something else and he brains them! I have been on the same boat fishing the same bait for donuts, while he regularly pulls up fish. 

    Quality, fresh bait is always going to be best, but experience trumps everything.

  5. On a family walk around Westlakes today and came across the below.

    Majority of the school was 30 and above, with a few genuine brutes that too the eye were mid 40s!!

    They were just milling about, with no obvious reason for them to be there. I sat and just watched them for about 15 minutes, completely mesmerised.

    For those that target Bream often, is this a normal occurrence?
