you'll be right.....I'd stay with the 30lb......tough outer coating and casts a dream......all good.so Sandy is a bit of a "smiling asassin" then?hmmmmmmmmmmmm...........at least you're happy though........fiver says "she" answers first

Mustad Penetrators........super sharp and a fine wire,but ultra stong

Up until about 2 years ago,I had a Jarvis Walker "Black Queen" estuary rod.......about 7 feet in length and rated at 5 to 12 lb from memory.....a great solid fibre glass rod,with the old stainless steel ferrule.....caught plenty of fish as well.Paid about $30 for it 25 odd years ago.Saw a brand new one in K-mart the other day.......exactly the same as I remember......and was $35......and was twice as good looking as the "no-name" that was twice the price.........

an honest man looks a real ballsy, don't argue type rod.......the way it should always be

love my 8144's too nev great pics mate what was on the other end :ohmy:

Go to the tackle shop,tell them your budget and what you're after,it's intended use,and I'm sure they'll see you right......especially the guy's on here ....what area are you in?......I'm sure one of the blokes here are close by,they'll talk to you. After-all,it is their business,and they lose customers and reputation if they sell you a "bum steer" It's going to be a "win - win" situation

The Daiwa Sealine 900H and the Senator 9/0 are pretty much on a par as far as I'm concerned.........line capacity,reliability,ruggedness..........and weight........They are both bullet-proof,old school type reels,that are perfect for your application.The Penn 950 is a good surf reel too......thinking 320m of 30lb........plenty.my 2c worth.

not that bad,but along the same line.......I was at Browns many years ago,and went into a bit of scrub for a leak......just about to "commence" and the bush in front of me rustled,and up stood a big grey bugger......he bounded off without incident,I did my bit,and almost had a follow through as well :ohmy:

probably have more luck getting a dollar from a Jew than a spot for a jew in the Port.....

Father-in-law has only got a couple of good hauls this season from the boat.....this is in "his" areas between Ardrossan and Port Vincent.....Heaps of smaller under-sized crabs........10:1 at least under-sized to legal.......even the keepers haven't really got a lot of meat in them.All in all,a lean season on Yorke's in our experience.The jetties seem to be quiet,and the rakers not doing much better.

excuse my ignorance.......is it a cosmetic thing,or does it perform a function

I have a Shakespeare Agility IM7 Graphite 12 foot 2 piece rated at 3 to 6 kg.......I run an old 4500 Baitrunner with 12 lb mono on it for salmon at Waits,Browns and Salt Creek......pretty good in my eyes.Only cost me $120 brand new 12 months ago.Maybe something like that?

Well done lads.....even made me feel warm and fuzzy.

problem solvered then huh?

I like to use Yozuri Hybrid line.Have a couple of TLD 25's,and an ABU 10,000 spooled with 30 and a 6/0 and 9/0 Senator spooled with 50.......does all that I want it to do off the rocks on Yorkes.........another option for you

some of my best friends are lurkers.......... :ohmy:

agree wes

You're going to return them anyway aren't you?No "different" than walking the street and finding a stray dog,reading it's tags and ringing the owner to say you found it!
