Hi Micky. Fishin.com.au have a couple of Rapala Shadow Rap Fat Jack lures in their specials that are uv bright that look ok and only $15. Regards, HBt.

Look forward to hearing how it goes. Regards, HBt.

Hi Micky. My son in law has been very happy with his Shimano Nasci. Might be worth a look as they do a 1000 size. Regards, HBt.

Nicely done. Such a beautiful fish and always great to read about and see a new PB. Regards, HBt.

Have a read of Banga Baits in the DIY forum. He might mention the paint he uses to paint his lures. Regards, HBt.

My son has just bought a new whiting rod: an Abu Garcia Veritas 3-6kgs that he has put a 4000 reel on. While the reel is a little big it allows for bycatch. These rods might be worth looking at as they are not overly expensive and seem to get good reviews. Good luck with your quest. Regards, HBt.

Hi Micky. If you were prepared to go secondhand check the local Adelaide TackleBox secondhand site. Every now and then a great rod comes up at an even greater price. Regards, HBt.

Go to Youtube: Messiah Custom Fishing. There are other clips that are worth watching re bream fishing as well. Regards, HBt.

And as an aside Scotto James from Messiah Custom Rods in Tasmania has been experimenting and having success with straight through braid ... no leader knot. His info and Youtube clip is certainly worth a read/watch. Regards, HB tragic.

Might also be worh while checking the BreamMaster site as well. Can be a great site for useful information. Regards, HBt.

Hi Micky. Worth having a troll through fishing with blades on Youtube. Gives you some varying info and techniques used. Regards, HBt.

Purely for bait fishing my favourite whiting rod over the years was a Jarvis Walker fibreglass rod. The 'Tooradin' model. At 188cm it was a great little rod in the boat and loaded up very nicely with any KGW on the other end.

Afraid not. Ben from BK Custom Tackle in Tasmania. He does a great job as these are other colours that were overpainted rather than clean blanks. Regards, HBt.

Thought I could start the ball rolling for this section by showing my latest lure aquisition to entice the local bream population. Enjoy. regards, HBt.

Nicely done. Great writeup and catch. Regards, HBt.
