Great advice plankton! Hooked a half decent sambo probably around 4kg and in that last little wave was pulling a bit of drag and the top half went snap in 2 places- around the 2 eyelet up from the bottom section..So really not too sure if I want the same rod again even at half price?! but it was GREAT while it lasted could cast lures up to 60gm (heaviest) all day But I've caught heaps of salmon on it biggest was around 5.5kg and that was no problem coming in! True that I do want one of the best lure throwing weapons! might just have to pick up a bit more work as a chef to allow to ge

that rod also got mentioned to me as well thanks hugo!! Getting a bit pricey though just for salmon Fishing shop where i got my rod from said they'll replace my penn prevail for half price?!

thanks heaps fellas!!!!!!! It's a good problem to have trying to choose a new fishing rod! sussing it out today and let you know! Lines tight!

102S Spin 305cm 2 Medium Fast 20-90g 5-9kg even on the daiwa site it's only got 1 type of 10 footer. can't see why $100 difference! Never owned anything daiwa but always willing to try something new!

talking myself into to sensor surf. Just wondering though... is there an older model and a newer model? Been looking around at different sites and best price i found is $179 but most of the other sites are $279? go figure? Just wondering if they are two different rods?? SS1002MFS - Length 10ft - 2 Piece - Line Class 12 to 20lb - Cast Weight 3/4 to 3oz = $179 DAIWA SENSOR SURF IZM 102S SPIN ROD = $279 ​any help much appreciated!

normally ping 30-70gm lures at salmon depending on the swell and wind. My favourite lure at the moment would have to be 125mm dual adagio -45gm

Daiwa sensor surf is on the radar! thanks benwah!! Or samki zing surf.. Just have to shop around for the best price! R&A looks like the cheapest so far! Any more options I should look at? Thanks plankton will suss them out! Lines tight

Hiya Guys and Gals, Just wondering if anyone has an great-good surf rods for sale? I'm looking for a lure throwing weapon that I can match with a stradic fj 5000 to throw lures at salmon at my local beaches like locks well and talia. I previously had a penn prevail 10ft 6' but the salmon got the better of it! Anything 10-11ft probably not smaller and defiantly not longer! I'll have to pay the freight as well so add that onto the cost as I live in the country Lines tight Dyl

Snapped my Penn prevail surf rod the other day At least it was on a fish! probably good 3.5-4kg salmon. They have alot of fight especially in that last little wave! Pulled a bit of drag and then SNAP!!!! the top half What made it worse was the schools of salmon coming through the gutter I was fishing!! and watching people left and right pulling in salmon after salmon with a couple of Donkeys!!! so I spat it big time and snapped the bottom half over my leg! sat back and had a beer Hopefully that's my bad luck gone for a while! Lines tight!

Message sent thanks mate!

Hi there! I was there too with a couple of other guys from RecFish SA Was a very intersting day! I took down lots of notes and just going through them to make up a report but I would love to hear what you took out of it too. Many thanks! Dylan

OHHHHH my salmon lures are like my girlfriends shoe collection. But I think I have a few more lures than her shoes (just!) Couple of my "Go To" lures lately have been Samaki Flash 35gm - White bait colour or the blue pillie looking one with a size 4 or 5 decoy jigging hook on the back normally gets a solid hook in the corner of the mouth (easy to release) but down on the hookup ratio sometimes I find. (unless casting into a school then you can't miss!) Caught a few 5kg salmon on these ones lately, winding my reel so fast watching the salmon break the surface trying to inhale them.

I've got a penn prevail 10ft 6' with stella 5000 running 20lb line. 40-50gm lures go a fair way! main one, bit of over kill with stella but might as well use the best reel I've got and it makes fishing ALOT easier! Then my back up is a silstar crystal tip 10ft 6' with stadic fj 5000 20lb line. Also rate the fin nor lethal 4000 with 15lb line as a good lure throwing weapon. hopefully get some photos on weekend as weather is turning good after the change we just had! Lines tight!

Sweet!!!!!!! Thanks heaps!!!!!!!! Winning stuff while having the time of my life throwing lures hours after hours into a school of salmon right in front of me! Thankyou all hope you enjoyed the read! I'll make sure I keep posting whenever I get a hot session like this again or even if it is just a lazy day down the beach with my daughter trying to snag a few. Lines tight! Will send you a message bjorn! thanks again!!

Elliston Offshore!!!!!!!!! Might even see my ugly mug in there!!! Bloody country delivery hurry up and get here already! Think I'll be buying myself a subscription for xmas!

Not sure if I'm too obsessed with my fishing gear but I do take really good care of them so I can pass down to my next generation. But I do have names for my babies! Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem?! surely I'm not the only crazy one on here Back left is "PENNY" - penn 6500sv LL. still a virgin too but i'll keep trying! "Liz" the stradic. First fish I caught on it was a lizard (flathead) Poor girl needs to go back to the shimano warehouse under warranty as is a little sick and under 2 yrs old! "Cedar" the 360 penn slammer. That's my daughters reel she uses

YEW!!!!!!!!!! Well done CFR top job mate! Onya too scaley tom and kudas to myself! 2nd last year and 3rd this year! Thankyou HEAPS Bjorn! Your work for this site is second to none! I'm sure I'm not the only fisherman /women who appreciates what you do to keep this running! Massive thanks to the sponsors as well it's a great little comp that keeps us footy guys and gals intersted during the year when not wetting a line! PM on the way Lines tight!

same sort of thing when soaking squid in kiwi fruit and milk overnight, just makes it a bit more tender. doesn't add flavour But when eating fresh it shouldn't make too much of a difference Yep whole ab in the hand and smash againest a rock or cement, once the membrane of the ab is hit it relaxes the mussle. I normally cut it into thin strips and then bash with a meat mallet, bit of time preparing but hell worth it! I hardly do anything special to the abs, I don't think can do wrong with lemon flour cooked in butter quickly on the hot plate on the beach only minutes after getting these

Tried locks well twice on saturday. Sunrise x2 GT's (GIANT TOMMIES) pushing 30cm Sunset bugger all your honour!! Threw out all different types of lures at least 300 times still absolutely beautiful down there though! Too nice for fishing

Bit tight at the top of the ladder! bit harder tipping in the finals Sorry Sleek for taking over 3rd Coming for you Brent61 and Scaley tom!!

Finals tipping should be interesting! See if I can do what I did last year and ZZZ into 3rd place to win something! I'm an eagles fan so now will be going for the tigers since they knocked us out!

maybe running a lighter line to tie your sinker? that way if it does get caught and the line snaps then you are only losing your sinker instead of the whole setup? Lines tight bjorn!

I love cooking whole fish and nanny's would have to be up there with one of the best tasting around! I like to obviously gut and gill the fish and put a couple of score marks down each side. Within the guts I make up a fried rice sort of thing-cook this before hand and let cool. Add whatever into the rice onions,caps, kaffa lime leaves,mushrooms,leek whatever takes your fancy! Stuff that inside the fishes guts. Few lime or lemon slices on bottom and top of fish and triple wrap in foil. Cooking time depends on the size of the fish but find 15-20mins each side on the BBQ is good! or

First Month is done and dusted! While there was some good weather in between the fronts rolling through not too many fish were weighed in the first month.
