thanks for the help here guys, i have been flat out with work and haven't had much access to the net. my boat was stolen from a garage at smithfield on the 8th of november. as it stands, there has been bugger all interest from the police, and unfortunately nothing has turned up. i'm told that this is an everyday occurence, and the police just do not have the resources to investigate. its funny, when a crime involves something over $10000 in value, it is considered a major crime, yet when a $30000 boat is stolen, there's no investigation. i can't blame the police for their lack of involvement,

i don't see any reason why not, sounds like a good combo. and the 2 speed feature on the tld30 certainly is a bonus with stubborn opponents...

my personal opinion is that i would not even contemplate an okuma titus, they don't have a very good history, and when i worked in the tackle trade, they provided plenty of headaches.i tend to agree with the majority, it's hard to go past the shimano's. they have reduced dramatically in price in recent times due to the exchange rate, bringing them into reach of the budget minded angler. they have excellent drags and easy to maitain too.over the past eight years i have owned and used in excess of 20 lever drag shimano's ranging from the no longer available tld 5 right up to the tiagra 50w.my bi

caught this pup a few years ago off outer harbour while chasing hammerheads, it measured spot on 5 feet and weighed 34kg. i fought it for1 hour and 20 minutes on 4kg, and we chased it for over two k's before being subdued. it would have been a state, australian and world record but due to being protected, it was released unharmed! definately something that will forever be etched in my memory! ;D http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/JyXsv3wJ__toddy.gif[/img]
