Thanks HB I’ve got another coming from an online buy hope it works Profishent Cojack 38mm Shallow Crank Bait × 1

Ok so far I’ve used 2 shallow lures UV ones landed bream . Got another brand coming in the post they are hard to find .

Ok if you know me in the real world I’m known to ask silly questions . Having fun with the shallow crank UV olive lure . Are there any other UV lures available to buy in Aussie ? Thanks

It does work well imho for all the people online having a dig at me not on here though

Got this line on it the tackle shop person was shocked the entire line fit on the spool with backing it’s thin 8 lb and I put on 4 lb FC leader

Ok my Temu 500 reel arrived looks good I’ll get line put on it this week , I’ve lined it next to the sienna 1000 .

Got a update it’s in customs now

thanks this 500 was $14.85 thought why not I’ll give it a try when it gets here and I get line on it

I couldn’t stop myself couldn’t find a 500 size reel in tackle shops . So my family buy off Temu I got my daughter to download the app all security stuff done . I thought for under $15 why not .it’s a ZP 500 5kg max drag 5.2.1 140g . had to spend a few more cents to get to $15 so bought braid scissors to

Ok I think I know why the water isn’t coming in . They are working on the marina in a section I don’t fish in . I’ll guess they aren’t letting the water through .

Ok does anyone know what’s going on at the Pat with water amounts . Tide levels seem to be empty most days even with a very high tide . This morning again basically no water.

Thanks

This FC leader thanks

Thanks Adrian that’s them

Could be the floating one different colours I could’ve bought old ones

Could be I couldn’t think of their name I’ll do some googling thanks Kelvin

Does anyone know the brand of this lure I have no clue where I got them from have 3 different colours . Lure says on its back GM 50 3.1 g weight . I must’ve bought them from somewhere

Ok tried the shimano nasci this morning way to windy but another problem again surfaced cast line and lure stops short took me awhile to pull line out and get a ok cast . I could’ve changed the lure but weather was against me .I'm almost over this braid see if it improves with a heavier lure otherwise I may strip it and get a different braid on the reel

So I’ve looked at the shimano nasci reel removed any of the line that had issues like a giant loop less line on it still more than the Okuma reel I’ll see how it handles latter in the week

Ok had a great chat with HBT think both reels were over spooled with braid .

Thanks been doing it manually for years. It just seems to be with the 2 reels with J braid as I said I have an ancient 1000 sienna cheap braid no issue . Just the jbraid on 2 different size and brands of reels

Happens with 4 gram or 5 gram lures as well . I tend to notice the single loop when casting the multiple loops that tied up on the leader knot the drag knob and on the reel shaft was a shock but has happened on this Okuma reel and the shimano reel both with Jbraid I have an ancient sienna 1000 wiyh cheap braid not a loop never an issue . And I hate in the tackle shop being told it’s due to it being a 1000 reel when it only happens to Jbraid not the cheap stuff ! And the Okuma reel is a 30 larger than a 1000 smaller than a 2500 reel . now casting perfectly

Ok reel and j braid were fine today pity the bream at west lakes were watching me and laughing

So yesterday the Okuma reel had line in a knot on the leader loops going around the drag knob and line around the shaft under the spool

Ok both reeks were spooled at 2 different tackle shops . The 1000 just keeps on getting large loops I’ve given up on it . Almost every cast loop that turns into knot around the top of the spool . Last time couldn’t untangle it . The Okuma reel it gets loops going around the top of the spool . Yesterday they did but also giant loop that got a knot and three ends connected to the knot . I had to snap the line or it snapped when I tried to untangle it . So I had then 3 ends somehow I got 2 of the sections off retied the leader to the spool and it was fine lost somewhere between 2 to 3 metres . Th
