KastKing SuperPower Braided Fishing Line in 8 strand

sorry 120lb Kastking leader.... I get from them direct through Aliexpress.. They have their own shop there.. and yes.. Jbraid isnt too good..

I use the leader as well.. Lands 35 kilo kings no probs in 120lb.. Go straight to the kastking web site,, much cheaper than ebay.. I tried the cheap Jarvis walker braid.. Bit too stiff/rigid and doesnt hold up well to rocks etc.. Lost a couple of kings last year to it.. But the Jarvis walker Leader seems to work ok..

2 weeks ago at lower Yorks. The gar only wanted Gar.... Tried all the usual baits and kept going back to gar.. Fishing is weird.. There were plenty about in ankle deep water..

I like the Kast King braid.. Use from 6lb all the way up to 80lb.. Works well for the price..

Im very successful with Kings land based.. Its taken a few years/seasons to work what is.. Biggest so far went 153cm at an estimated weight of 33kilos.. Not bad off the rocks..

I use the Oceans Legacy size 6 or 8... Or the Shinto size 6 or 8 get the "medium" I trim off the red shiney bits.. Dont like the Trick Bitz. Cheaper to make.. But I like em.. Im lazy sometimes.. Short skirts mate.. Not too long as they get tangled in the lure..

There were at least 8 cars with guys fishing the upper river yesterday, harbour side quay area.... ALL using BIG gear...

I have the Ugly Stick wade bag.. It has a little case for lures in its own tight pocket, has velcro straps for extras, has the front pocket and a ruler, well drained, doesnt hold any water....Its light. It works for me.. I carry folding knife, nail clippers, spare spool, drink, 2 x T-towels, pliers and landing net, phone and camera.. Tackleworld Adelaide $59 3years ago.. still as new and its been used heaps...

Its been banned for years... When I was working boats with my dad 35 years ago.. We made good coin gathering the cockles off the section bank.... Especially when the weather wouldnt lets us go work the nets.. I wouldnt eat them today though.... We gathered the pipies where I circled with green.. There was always millions of them... With one port adelaide pro, that was all he went for.. He was lazy.. There was always lots of prawns there at night as well..

I always use fresh tenderized squid with a little bit of pilchard on my baits, the frozen squid doesnt work as well as fresh... My theory is the pilchard brings them to the bait, the squid hooks them as it stays on the hook better.. If they are fussy and I have a KGW/trevally. Then I use a little bit of that instead.. I dont boat fish.. Only off the land which is a bit harder to get KGW.. Its been hard this year due to the crowds everywhere... Hoping/wishing next summer is better.. crowd wise... Last few trips I havnt really fished as much due to the crowds... We went to Gleesons

I wont say exactly.. Northen sand flats....

KGW like KGW flesh.... Ive had great success with trevally meat as well... and theres lots of pipies exposed on the sand flats at the moment... They are just sitting on top.. Thousands where I was yesterday. Might be worth a trip for you to gather some.. My old man used to gather them, open and lightly salt them, then freeze... He always did well with the KGW..

Hi Mate.. I got the same... Looks like they didnt sell out after all..... No questions asked.. he had a look and said sorry about that..

Hi all.. Tackle world Adelaide swapped the broken rod no probs.. He said it happens.. Im impressed and will support them a bit more..

Hi all.. I opened up my new Samaki yesterday, I was going to try out.. Its broken.. The top half is cracked/crushed.. Just above where the lower piece slots into it.... I rang them and they said to bring it in... I hope they replace it... Probably will blame me.. I didnt check at the shop.. Maybee I should of.. I will next time.. Lucky I bought it as a spare.. I used my old one yesterday.. I dont get rods posted as I think they will get broken so I went and collected it.. Has anyone dealt with returns from Tacklworld?

I got one at 3.30pm... Plus some other bits and pieces..

I have the Samaki Archer 6112SL 4-8lb and a Samaki Archer 692SXL 2-6lb and I prefer the Zing 702 2-6lb... I bought another for a spare anyways.. Why dont they do reels at half price? Ide like a nice 1000 with a spare spool or 2.

You know you want it...

https://tackleworldadelaide.com.au/samaki-zing-xtreme-szx-702sxl-spinning-rod-clearance/ FOR $99 you cant go wrong... I use this and like it very much.. Its my favourite..

I love my "specials".... Rapala 75r type.. $97, Samaki 12' foot heavy surf rod= $69.... Kastking braid/leader+ cheaper than others and just as good. I also have expesnive rods/reels,, But not to be used on hard rocky areas.. They get trashed fishing off rocks.. My nephew has $1500 reels/rods.. Work just the same a cheaper stuff.. I do agree, dearer stuff lasts, but I cant see myself paying BIG $ for rod/reel.. Im happy with what Ive got.. and it does perform..

I used the Kast King 80 & 130lb fluorokote.. Worked well for me.. 37 kilo King landed... Held the knots ok.... When I worked out what works best.... Great on rocks..... Used the KastKing Superpower Dyneema braid in 8 strand 80lb.... Worked well for me... For the price.. You cant go wrong..

Will do.. I like the beany....Thanks guys...

Hi all.. Got a surprise when I got home today ( I live between 2 houses..)... Wow.. Gifts for me.... Im happy, thanks guys.. well done.. I like the beanie.. Battery charger looks nice...and some free tackle as well.... I needed the Jetty clip at Haslam last year.. a snook took my rod for a swim.. I got it back.. the rod that is.. Mike
