    Richyd got a reaction from yellow door 1 in Advice on a reel?   
    Thanks everyone for the replies it is very much appreciated.
    I did end up getting a Shimano baitrunner- mainly because I do love the feature (I only remembered this after Yellow door posted about it, but it is actually one of the reasons that I went with the abu Garcia reel in the first place!). It was also slightly cheaper.
    It was a very hard decision and the Daiwa was definitely close!
     
    Tha ks again everyone for their help

    The trumpet fish has quite different fins from the fish I caught. The tube mouth fish that I researched also seems to have a different mouth to the ones that you have found (looks almost identical in the photos to what I caught).

    Yeah, I usually would returned it but was having a bad day! Firstly the engine wouldn't start, then for an entire afternoon all we caught was a moderate sized squid, 1 Tommy, 1 leather jacket and this fish. It was the biggest out of all of them and I really thought someone would have eaten it before!

    Hey all, 
    New to the forum, so hopefully this is in the right spot.
    Went fishing off the foot of the Yorke Peninsula over Easter and caught this weird fish- never seen anything like it in SA before.
    We were fishing in a small dinghy (about 7m water depth).
     
    Can anyy help identify it??
    I'm thinking maybe a flute mouth but the tail doesn't seem right...
