i just think they can handle rougher treatment great drag system perfectly balanced rotor system etc and as far as fishing gear goes they look damn good two

Shimano for rods and daiwa for reels. My opinion anyway

i use daiwa exclusively and have done since i got my first series one 6hm millionaire way back in the early 80's which cauhht more big barra tuna trevally etc etc over fifteen years living in darwin and never let me down. since then i have used nothing else. i own two sol's three calida's and a red back now and thrash them constantly. ohby the way i still have the millionaire which is now my still my number one go to real when targeting big snapper on light line.....

the silver ghost..........snapper are less of a challenge to locate and catch.......ive done the metre on both but have still not landed that 50-60lb jewie.....thats the dream......and i want to get it local.......the challenge of mulloway any day. everything about it is more challenging than snapper.

Gulp Banana Prawn 3" minnows work great and also the pilchard 3" minnow.I have a Ecogear SX40 in gold/black with orange on the bottom (don't know colour code) that the ST's seem to like also

Hi SamnI got a 2500 stradic CI4 matched to a G loomis 4-8lb rod with 6lb line,Got this little 6kg red with ease, very happy with the combo

i had a play with a Luvias 2500 custom.. all i can say is i almost needed to change me pants... awesome bit of kit.... if only i didnt have to pay for rego

I would go a Luvias or the certate if you don't mind spending the extra........I personally have a 2500 certate with carbontex drag washers and bearing upgrade and it feels amazing.....!

Welldone Sam, Great angling milestone mate Stick with it it gets easier. Looks like your reels on backwards dude Welldone Cheers1Fish

Well done SamN ,i,like alot of others also remember my first trout on fly,which happened not to long ago ,a nice brown of 39cm,now im addicted and tying flies and that gets even more addictive.searching for materials that may be lying on the ground,and skinning roadkill,i now have a hare pelt in the shed drying.hope you stick at fly fishing has been my biggest fishing challenge yet.again well done

Sam if you are going to fish for fish that may actually pull some line off the reel then make sure you are winding with your dominant hand. So if your right handed swap over the one way bearing and strip all the line off and then put it back on so you are retrieving right handed.If you are fishing for fish that don't take line (like small trout) then you will get away with having it as a left hand winding reel. It's very frustrating trying to wind fast with a fish swimming at you if you are winding back the line with the non dominant hand.Just my 2 cents worth Cheers Dazz

Well done mate you'll always remember your first just like the first time you do anything :woohoo: Cheers Dazz

ill pm you my number

nice work there young sir now come try it down south LOL

rainbows in a private creek...sounds bloody great!nice work

Nice fish Sam, I remember my first rainbow on a fly. was taken on a red and black Matuka in a victorian metro dam. Almost like a giant pond. I will remember that moment my whole life. I hope the memory of landing that fish is with you for your lifetime.well done.Those whacky Americans..LOL
