I already have some of the ones mentioned , I have used them but personally prefer a thicker wired burley spring .
-

Stupid me cant remember the website I got them from , im too lazy to make my own , and I don't want the cheap Chinese made ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I wont more, must be THICK wire and Australian made. wish I could remember the website I got the last ones from ! cheers

Yeah Land based fishing in Darwin, firstly , watch out for crocs ! Mandorah Jetty i would go to if decent tides, they get a mixed bag off there inc Spanish macks , queenies , trevally , sharks. The wharfs do still fish ok , but the majority of decent trevally etc will smoke you on structure . If your going to try for Barra landbased, id gather some info first on where is fishing good at the time you plan to go , as alot depends on what baitfish are around etc and of course the sometimes huge tides. The local knowledge of the crew at the darwin fishing and outdoor shop (in darwi

Its a Head ache these rules.......why are they not crystal clear. Reading through all the fine print etc.

DMCK , i just want to be sure what im buying as tuna oil doesnt contain blood. As the way the legislation reads for this state any form of animal blood (and a fish being an animal) is not legal within 3 nautical miles of the state mainland.
-
Savage , from my understanding thats incorrect ... the actual SA legislation states any blood of an animal. And a fish , if researched on line is classed as an animal.

Hi guys , i have a question regarding tuna oil. By law , it is illegal to berley with blood (amongst other things) from our saltwater shores. I see that alot of tuna oils available in tackle stores are very dark and thick , some are very pink/clear in colour also . My questions are, does anyone know the process of how the make tuna oil ? is there blood in tuna oil ? Is it legal to use tuna oil from the shore to berley ? cheers,

For saltwater.....im interested in getting the distance.
-
In a you tube video i watched it was suggesting the angler potentially would get more distance casting with the in touch, as there is no stretch, therefore not losing any transferred power in the cast.

Thankyou sbarnden .

Cheers Mrfish

I can cast fine and confident in my technique , and i can get good distance. the flies i have been using vary iv tried beaded head nymphs , wooly buggers in green and black....im wondering if my flies are too small ? iv bee
