Here 'tis for any one not familiar with it :fishing:Leave a longer dropper on one of the tags as shown by the thicker line 8)

What about in the "Show us your ride" section? :

She's a blonde mate, probably would use gear box lube :icon_lol:

Yes,I did notice what a pretty shade of pink her nail polish was :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

solid gold mate, great info, definitely locked in to the memory bank and will try at first opportunity 8) :fishing:Cheers, tonyb.

yah story has to have about 2,000 words so you need a good grasp of your subject. crab_man still doesn't know about "spellchecker" yet either :

Could try the drop shotted method of a sinker at the bottom and a couple of paternostered droppers with the SP's at each end?Apparently this method is effective with those feathered poppers as well. Can't confirm as I haven't tried it yet :-\

Double blood knot, same as the Fly Fishers use as droppers, or for making tapered leaders from different line thicknesses:fishing: Been using it for mullet/YFW/St rigs forever, no tangles and it stands straight off too, if your nylon is stiff enough

Solid gold with the pics, I gave Shane 41 of my redfin pics on a CD for my article in the Christmas edition of Wildcoast, all high resolution, would of taken a while to email them all so dropped them over to him myself. Good luck with it fella.Cheers, Tony.

Just imported a whole rake of different SP eels from the UK :fishing:Haven't tried 'em yet but will follow up if there's any success

Check this little baby out Macka, and you'd have a bit of change left for Braid etc :fishing:Cheers, tonyb.http://www.strikehook.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,78/topic,4535.0/

BUY QUALITY BUY IT ONCE.. SOLID GOLD Whatever you do tho', don't break it, those graphite wands need that bit extra care in transporting and using :

I'd be careful fishing Maslin's Beach with a handle like that one

I reckon they'd work a treat on your Fly Gear with a small Squidgy resin head fitted to the tails

:icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: Mcdonalds would give big bucks for that Buffalo, not sure about that rangy looking thing on it's back tho'

poor old scorps, so proud of his biggest Catty :'( :'( :'( :

now your "cooking with gas" mate :icon_lol:

I could supply a hand grenade if time is running out and you are desperate :. You could always cover it with "soft plastic" to deaden the noise mate :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Here's a tip which may save you from an early trip to the undertakers If you ever get swept off your feet in the water, roll on your back and pull your knees up to your chest in the "foetal" position ???This has the effect of trapping the air in the knees of your waders and you WILL float in this position, even allowing you to padle back to the shore with your arms/hands.Might be worth trying a "Dry" run with your bathers and waders on some time if you don't believe me :icon_e_ugeek: ;)Cheers, tonyb.

This is mully's lure site Roger http://lureandmore.com/Cheers, Tony.

Gotta say (then I'll leave you all alone!)that I'd be more scared of those triangular shaped, serrated edged,jagged, SHARK TEETH :icon_lol:

Good luck mate, don't forget to keep us all posted

There's a guy whose handle is "Mully" on here and he has his own lure only site, but I think they are mostly fairly modern patterns.Might be worth a try though, be very interested if anything turns up at all Roger.Cheers, tonyb.

Come down Sunday morning to the SAFWAA club outing and meet us and some of the S&H blokes 8) have a bit of a fish/BBQ :fishing:I'm sure the guys will all be only too pleased to help, as all of us will be using our favourite Bream Rods and lures :fishing:Cheers, tonyb.

Yes Tonka, that's why I commented as the stiffer, shiny, cock hackles are normally used for dry flies as a kinda collar behind the hook eye and tied with the tips pointing to the head, and a tail made of the same stiff hackle to keep it all high on the surface film :fishing:The softer hen hackles are used for wet fly's and tied pointing back towards the tail for cleaner entry and they also "flirt" in the water with the rod action and give the fly some lifelike action :fishing:Apologies if I'm preaching to the converted mate, but there may be others on the forum might be interested in Hackles a
