Went to fish factory today and came home with a 20kg box of aussie salmon for $60. Pillies were $80 for 14kilo. Should get 2-4 baits out of each salmon and frames will be going in a onion bag for burley

What is the best method for collecting bait At salt creek?In the case I cannot find any bait at salt creek. I'm assuming squid heads are the better frozen bait, and where could I source a decent amount of this?

+2 for Saltiga Surf I have the 6000. brilliant reel

yeah sure are great reels, i have the 2500 model, for ruggers and the usual smaller species

ah yeah, i havent had a look at the TCurve revolutions yet. But the Twinpower 5000 are a great reel, i have 2 of them that get used as snapper reels on the boat.BTW i have just ordered a 14ft Daiwa Sensor Surf that should see water in the next few weeks

Cheers for the info guys, i reckon i will stick with the sol3000/315 Seajigger combo.

i have lighter version of that combo and have caught up to 5lb sambos on it and such a nice combo, but just feels like i need to wind faster than possible

thanks for the help guys, i love the SOL3000 but it seemed i couldnt wind fast enough, though last trip to Browns i cleaned up on fish up to 4lb so maybe im overreacting?Anyway im getting another Seajigger, a 305 this time, so maybe ill go a bit bigger on the reel, maybe a 4000 or 4500 sized reel

Hey guys, just back from Browns and have come to the realisation that i need a new reel.I have been using a Daiwa SOL3000 on a Seajigger 315. Problem is, is that it is way too hard to crank the 60gm metals fast enough to get a strike, so I am after a reel, the same size or maybe a little larger than the SOL, but with a high speed that i dont have to exhaust myself trying to get a hit.Any ideas? Price no object, nor is brand, just a small spinning reel of good quality with a high speed retreive

I have a Spheros 14000 with the full upgrade, consisting of stella-style handle and better internals. This thing has a great drag, really strong, a powerful rubber handle that fits perfectly into you hand and really lets you crank. I have it spooled with 50lb jigman mulit-color braid.Just saying that overheads are not the only option. Chuck it on a 9-10ft rod and it would be near unbeatable for a powerful combo on a budget.

just fished St Kilda for some STs but only one found the hooks. Bloody hell the Seajigger casts a mile, and i think i'll be changing to singles to try to get rid of some of the weed out there

hey all, I'm relatively new to salmon on metal, and after picking up my new Seajigger 315 with a SOL 3000, i have realised i might as well try to find out the best method.What is YOUR recommended/favorite retrieval style for metals, and also favorite brands and styles

Well just picked it up, and the 5000 is way too big for it, but good news is is that the 3000 SOL is perfect on it

good to hear. I reckon that the 5000 might be alright then as the difference between the 4000 and 5000 is just a bigger spool (apparently)

nah mate, it s a 10' surf rod targeti9ng sambos
