I' got 2 Caldia Kix Customs Lazy, the 4000 and the 2508 both with the custom knobs like yours and they are sweeeeeet reels to use. I christened the 2508 on monday with a 45.5cm bream. Very nice.Cheers Darren

G'day guys,What's the difference between these and the Caldia Kix Custom.Thanks.Cheers Darren

yeah just think of a kayak as a giant popper. Rig up a hook coming out of the rudder and u should be able to catch yourself a Great White. I heard yellow is the best colour too.Jeez Lewie I hope not :o :icon_eek:.

Mate I just got myself a Team Diawa Saltwater 701 HFS and I'm pretty happy with the way it handles , especially chucking plastics around out of the kayak. Mines the 12 - 20lb rating but they have lighter wieght ones. I normally only fish custom built rods so I was surprised how good this one is for off the shelf.Cheers Darren

How about these and they work.Cheers Darren

No disrespect finatic but some people just like to do things their way and some just like to tinker {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif . No harm either way as I see it {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif .Cheers Darren

Buff,To me the head doesn't look spiney or ugly enough to be a Bullrout and the dorsal fin near the tail is very rounded on your fish and kind of square on the one in the picture. I'd still go along with some sort of cod. It's amasing what comes out of that river somedays {SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gifCheers Darren

You just can't help yourself can you Buff {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gifGood luck in the SABT, with all those lures you'll definately win mate {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gifCheers Darren

Chaser,It's a clouser mate and if you can cast it they work well. They do feel different to casting unwieghted flies but you'll get the hang of it. Good luck mate.Cheers Darren.

G'day Nick,Isn't it funny we haven't heard from Crabman in this discussion {SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif Maybe we've confused the poor bugger that much he doesn't know which way to go {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif You make some valid points about the 8wt , especially the one about adding a couple of feet of flurocarb leader {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gifI know the current at the breakwater runs hard but in all honesty the Rio Outbound S8 6WT has never floated on the surface {SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif It goes down at 8 inches a second and stays down there. I suppos

G'day Nick,Well on this one mate I think we'll have to agree to disagree {SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gifI don't see the need to throw an 8wt line at Bream and I know my 6wt can throw any fly I wish to at a school of sambos that just happen to pass by. With the 6wt I can and do throw flies tied on hooks up to size 2 in any baitfish pattern or otherwise. I do agree an 8wt comes in handy for clouser fishing but when it comes to finesse fishing for bream, I'm sorry mate but the 6wt wins hands down. Also if you really want to have some fun , mate get that 3wt up some creeks and really test it out on some

Nick,I understand where your coming from but you can't catch fish if you frighten the crap out of them by slapping down an 8wt line over their heads. Most flies for bream ,as you know are fairly small and are easily handled with a 6wt. I agree with you about the 8wt if your fishing clousers for sambo, flathead e.t.c. but who uses clousers for bream, not to say it can't be done but they don't get used as a go to fly for bream very often . Crab man is looking for an outfit to catch Bream, reddies and trout going by his first posting, thats why I suggested the 6wt. I think you are getting his "re

Yak,I use a Scientific Angler striper 4 full sinking line with a floating prawn that I tie up. Only have your leader about 60 to 90 cms long , cast out , let the line sink until its on the bottom then very very slowly strip the line back in. What this does is, when you strip the line the prawn wiggles to towards the bottom. When you stop it wiggles back towards the surface. The reason for the sort leader is you can keep it on the bottom in the strike zone in any depth of water you choose to fish the fly in and the shrimp fly looks like it's hovering over the weed or rocks e.t.c. With this setu

Crab man,Get yourself a nicely balanced 6wt outfit. It doesn't have to cost you a fortune but as with everything the better the quality the more you will pay. I have some really expensive flyrods in all different wieghts and the one I enjoy using the most is an old Silstar flyrod that I've just given a rebuild that I use out of the yak for bream e.t.c. You don't have to spend heaps until you work out whether or not you enjoy flyfishing. One thing I would advise you is , a cheap line is always a cheap line and will mostly cast and behave like a cheap line. Buy yourself a good intermediate line

G'day Buff,Very nice piece of kit there. I may have to sneak a little look at it the next time we cross paths. Love the colour too {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gifCheers Darren

In the Port mate but keep it a secret will ya {SMILIES_PATH}/lipsrsealed.gifCheers Darren

Nifty,Chase up a book called Custom Rod Thread Art by Dale Clemens. It's got everything you need to know in it .Chers Darren

Sure does mate, ugliest one I've ever seen. Cheers Darren

Thanks Luke,I love the way they just don't give in {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif you've got one up on me though, I can't catch a Mulloway {SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gifCheers Darren

Here's the biggest one I've got since digital cameras came out. He went 29lb but my best is 32lb which was caught in the channel many years ago.Then check this next one out, he looks like he smashed into too many reefs, even makes the captor look half decent {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gifCheers Darren

This big fella went 42cms to the fork {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif very happy day that one {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gifCheers Darren

Yeah mate the GLX comes in a 12wt but they have a new Crosscurrent 8'6" 14wt that looks sweeeeeeeeeeet {SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif you might want too check it out.Cheers Darren

Only this one Highfly {SMILIES_PATH}/rolleyes.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/rolleyes.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif Broke the 11wt aswellCheers Darren {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/fT3aSu9n__COBIA.jpg[/img]

Well done Highfly,We may have to get a flyfishing section on here, or is that being a bit forward {SMILIES_PATH}/rolleyes.gif. Your tuna beat my Cobia and Queenfish by a fraction I'd say {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif Good fish.Cheers Darren
