  1. Hi all,Just a quick question and comment on rig holders. As a new comer to sea fishing I found out really quickly that rigs are different to fresh water fishing (paternosters etc). I have been scratching my head about how to efficiently and safely store my rigs and wanted to keep the whole system compact too. I noticed that the pre-tied whiting type rigs that you can buy in Big W, Coles, K-Mart etc etc, come packaged on a small foam board that has slits on all corners (i'm sure you've all seen them).

  4. Morning folks...Bought a 5-8kg rated rod last week after talking to the guy in a tackle shop about a second rod for squidding. Just yesterday I saw some squid rods that were specifically rated 2 to 5kg and were 6 ft and not 8ft like mine. Have I been sold a more general purpose rod under the guise of a squid rod?I suppose my question is - what's the general recommended rating for squid rods? (In kgs)Cheers Phil
