I have about 50 cm of heavy galv chain on the gaff proper,but one of my mates put a welded 100mm ring through the top link.A simple hangmans noose through the top ring does it for me........more tension on it,the tighter it gets.

Go into bunnings to where the rope and chain is.You will see it in bags measured from 5 to 20 m, and in various diameters.Think it's actually called "silver" or "silvered" rope.Hope that helps a bit more.

Yep,that's the one I use

Use online facilities!You pay for the service,use it to the max I reckon.

We used to use a bit of cotton wool wrapped on with a bit of cotton then dipped in tuna oil every third or fourth cast.This works well when they are around a berley trail in huge numbers and competing for food.If they are a bit fickle,small pieces of squid and cockle seem to work well.

wow that sucks.........unfortunately,Xmas will be a "non-event" for him this year we had a scenario where a family member was "ill" over Xmas,and no-one in the family felt like having Xmas.......just couldn't do it.thoughts with you guy's

Livies here too!Think the answer to your question is here before your eyes.....lol

Ouch!That sucks at anytime,never mind the festive season......guess you'll have to help him drink all that beer then huh?Get well soon.

Wilson MT 8144 are a nice priced rod that will do the job nicely.I have a Wilson overhead marked as "Mulloway" and fishes 12 to 20 kilo line.....use a Senator 4/0on mine,loaded with 40lb mono.Great on the FWC where just a simple "lob" is needed into most gutters.

:ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: As Dick Emery used to say.........."You're awful,but I like you" :evil: No dog lending for me thanks mate

It's a bit like "why does a dog lick his cods"?.......because he can.......That's why I like fishing,because I can......and I can't reach mine with my crook back.

Hi all.A nephew of mine has decided he'd like a baitcaster for Xmas.Seeing as I'm the only one in the family that fishes,it's up to me :ohmy: Not being a tackle junkie,or up on the latest models / brands etc,I'm after some good advice.Reckon something that will fish 10 or 12lb mono........or 20lb braid easily.Mainly fishes freshwater,but sometimes Yorkes jetties with me So all suggestions taken on board........I can see he'll lose patience with it,and I'll finish up "buying it off of him" Last baitcaster I bought was the "Roll Royce" of it's time.........Shimano Bantam!.....before the magne

ask the women.....they'll tell you the longer the better

Apart from humans' date=' dolphins ARE the only other animal which has sex for fun! [/quote']Bloody hell I wish I'd married a dolphin.........

.......and a truck load of heavy tackle at Cash Converters

3 hours too late to save the Aussies from the Poms at the Oval though

Nice trip and report.But,my brain hurts after reading that :ohmy: ......I must be too old

METRO........say no more

twelve hundred don't go far in the scheme of weddings.....and second ( :ohmy: ) was 20 years ago :ohmy: should've said "what Melbourne Cup"?

now that's what I call a livebait awesome fish,well done mate

Agree Nanman on the gear ratio aspect of things.After a bit more research have decided on the Expedition 6500.....though the black DogFight looked cooler As for braid breaking strength,well,still thinking about that.

Sounds like a nice purchase there snake The bears will be just fine......

no probs with all the Vics coming here,as long as when they go,they have another Vic under each arm

Must say I enjoyed reading it too.........lolGood rods as well!
