  1. Thanks for the input Ale and 4THA' date='I have seen those Gomuku rods for micro-jigging, not my scene but they look pretty rad. Did have a quick squizz at those Daiwa Gen blacks Ale, not bad rods for the price. Itchy Twitchy looks within my required specs, 1.5-3kg. 4THA, why one piece rods? Is there much of a difference between one and two piece rods in terms of performance?[/quote']90% of my rods are one piece mate all though my t-curves are classed as 2 piece as it joins into the butt just a personal feel thing for finessing lures mate, I had a berkley im6 2 piece and purchased a strudwick sik stik pro 1 pce not sure if it was a mental thing but it felt so much better to cast and flick the tip with I also feel the rods action when hooked up is better having the arc through the whole 1 length piece and not broken into sections of different arcs :blink::blink: hope that helps cheers 4THA
  2. On the band wagon' date=' but the Diawa generation Blacks look mint. Not the type of rod for brutes like me , but they look , feel and priced great!!Those white rods with the funny names look ok to, come in pink, green and blue grips ( weight dependant)?[/quote']you mean the Gomoku rods Ale ? Moggy and myself sat through a speech from Lubin Pfeiffer (Rapala) @ BCF a month back and he was using one to catch his snapper on lures gomoku.jpggomoku1-400x600.jpgthese rods look and feel awesome but are for jigging big fish not that you couldn't use it for bream but the action aint suited for flicking sps hb's around I like tha Samaki rods K-man and prefer one piece'ers personally :) cheers 4THA
  3. I was down at the shack around rogues point on the Yorke Peninsula over the weekend chasing fish on the sand flats on the turn of the tide. We spotted a big fish scoot by as we were crabbing in a foot of water through the weeds and everyone thought it was a KGW (which would be highly unlikely in that particular area/depth). Half an hour later after pumping some clickers I threw out a line and was just reeling it in to check the bait when bang - this same horse of a fish absolutely smashed the clicker bait. It was great fun on the 2-4kg graphite with 1000 sienna reel and 4lb braid and it put up a good fight and was a great way to start the weekend. We only realised it was a yellow-fin once I had it safely on the sand and it measured 42cm and was seriously fat - even the old timers down that way couldn't believe it. The only downside is that the fillets definitely were not as sweet and tender as a 30cm specimen. I don't think I will beat that size for a long time.

    great spot the old Rogues point my Auntie and Uncle live there, love the place my p.b is from the same beach @ 48cm and you do get legal kg's there as well, same day I got my p.b I had a bronzie take a Y/Fin off my line right at my feet, first time I walked on water I reckon, i shat myself Kevin from compleat Angler @ Moonta said there has been quite a few being caught off the beach this season top effort well done cheers 4THA
  4. brilliant work boys :clap::clap: I can only imagine how many fish have been landed at that spot over the years as I know when I first started using sp's we literally caught hundreds of bream and schoolies so much fun and Bjorn there's a colour sp that works well on mullies ;);) congrats again 4THA

  5. funny how they are all named after dogs got a few mates that'd like the hooch :whistle: :whistle: if you do manage to get a whiting on a popper alex I will be shattered' date=' I have tried so many times now with a grand total of zero I have only used the bushy's poppers though good luk with it mate look forward to your vid cheers 4THA[/quote']Give me a yell some time' date=' i fill you in on where I get them on surface lures.I personally prefer surface walkers my favourite two are bassday sugapens in orange and Atomic k9 walkers in chartreuse which has a clear body with a yellow head. Normally if one doesn't work the other will[/quote']i'll take you up on that, i'd love to slam some fish on surface lures every time I see pics/footage it looks like so much fun I think the attack and the splashy commotion is what getz me all razzed up cheers 4THA
