    rocknev got a reaction from chuckemback in giving rod a birthday.   
    didnt really think the thread was as bad as it is on the snyder, so yeah,...bout time it gets an ovehaul... changed mind on the yellow and metalic red thread, just didnt look right with the maroon rod..., so stripped it all off and started again...going gold backing with black thread... same deal, the red just didnt work...black and gold is the go i thinkthe heat beat me today though, and am working for a few days so wont be onto it again for a while...ive got a funny feeling im going to run out of gold thread though.. thought it was a 100mtr spool, but shes only a 50mtr... the line clip used with an alvey

    bought a new snorkle and goggle set... an underwater light, and a net...went wading for gar last week, and we got a few good size ones... mate had a snorkle and mask, and was next to me with them on, rippley surface that night , and the light just didnt do it from above the water , but mate had no trouble picking out the gar, and some huge blue crabs...so i bought an underwater light of my own, and goggle set.well. first time under, the snorkle leaks... coughing up salt water isnt much fun, and the goggles no matter what i tried kept fogging up...could spend limited time under water without a snorkle, but managed some killer gar and huge crabs....tell ya though.. underwater 100mtrs from shore, pitch black, and the light blows a globe is pretty scary... that was the end of that trip...now a purpose built underwater light, which has the globe fill up with muddy water and eventually blow just doesnt seem right for an underwater light...same as a leaking snorkle staright out of the bag, and foggy goggles....will save some penies and buy quality set rather than 40 doller jobs...
