buy an alvey...rinse it and forget it....seriously though... my egg beater, and adu7000 after a fish cop a soak in HOT water., with a bit of car wash added, then its rinsed off, and left to dry in the sun....seems to desolve the salt better.the rods get a regular wax with turtle wax, and it keeps them in pretty good condition and a lot cleaner.my only trouble with the spinners and overhead, is they dont get a great deal of use, where the alvey gets used 2-5 times a week.i really should oil the alvey more often, but there is no need to.it dont have bearings of rubbish like that.its been going f

i for one wouldnt like to see it....i dont normally fish from a boat, i prefer the challenge of the rocks...would be nice to be able to continue to do so, but i personally think, if they want it...they will get it...regardless if anyone else doesnt want it.

ants do a fantastic job of cleaning... they get into everything.bro in law got a 6 ft bronze a few years ago, cant remember how he set them, but im sure chopsticks were involved... left them in the bush near a bull ants nest.... week later, they were really clean.

ive only used this method on my abu 7000 and ugly stick... with the alvey ive used it enough to sort of get a feel for where it should be.... when its in the rocks holder, its backed right off so the fish can run, after i strike, i tighten the drag by instinct.....

damn....sounds like your all a bunch of pissheads....hehehe... I DONT DRINK..not really anyway.... last year i had 2 beers, and ive averaged no more than 3 a year for the last 15 yrs... used to like it, but after a bucks night when i got smashed on tequilla,AND drove the porcelan bus the reat of the night, ive never been drunk since.that was 18 yrs ago... i once bought a carton of beer for christmas drinks, 12 mths later i still had 18 cans left, so that got tipped out... ' i used to like brandy and coke,,,, but ive even gone off that as well...

when i fish the shore, i have a piece of dowel...well i DID have a peice of dowel, until i snapped it.so now i have a piece of 12mm plastic cinduit... its 60cm ling, the legal length of a large snapper, with some elect tape at the 38cm mark for small snapper...i use different colour tapes, for whiting, salmon,etc etc...i normally leave it in the bucket, but i have tied a bit of string around it once when i was wading the shallows of the beach for silvers... easy to use, lay it along the fish, and throw the fish back if U/S.

i tried braid only once... from the rocks...FORGET IT... rubbish...it doesnt like sharp rocks thats for sure....threw the lot in the bin.but this thread has me thinking...HOW IMPORTANT IS COLOUR? i tried a red mono, and didnt get any snapper bites, until i took it off and also threw it in the bin.yellow didnt seem to work either... i will stick with green or blue.....my bro was getting fish while i got zip both times with the coloured line.shallow water from the rocks.
