Can't get it to undo on the right side I can do it on every other reel
-
If it's not the best reel I've ever bought it should be . I can't change it from left to right handed but it's fantastic .
-
Thanks everyone I was like a kid in a candy store yesterday
-
Thanks lofty I was so excited waiting for them to spool the reel .I'm looking for those big bream hopefully they are back in the local . Seeing I wimped out today on my birthday got up it was raining so I thought Saturday will do
-
The diawa they didn't have in 2000 I could've got a 2000 in another reel more $$$$
-
Ok some will know I posted in a couple more places about this reel. Seeing it is my birthday I went into tackleworld and checked the Abu Garcia reel again compared it to shimano and diawa. I am no expert in everything what did I learn the Abu Garcia spool was too shallow . Comparing diawa and shimano the assistant didn't like the shimano handle over the diawa handle . I didn't like the look of the bail arm on the shimano purchased the diawa LT exceler 2500.Looks great spooled with 5 lb braid . Handle for a change will be on the left . Now those who don't know me this will be an extra upg

I would say they go into the Pat to feed . Even I've caught then in the Pat .

Let's say I'm lucky to have got it . As my managers husband loves anything to do with Coopers . They don't or cant sell anything with company logos on them . I was lucky a few weeks ago to be given a large BWS cooler bag no booze but perfect for going to the sanfl . And a bag I take my lunch to work in a cheese Brand big enough to fit my salad container water bottle blood glucose metre . I look like Fred Flintstone carrying my lunch to work . Now if I can find some fish again life's good

I've been putting my lures ect in back packs from Kmart or cheap as chips .I go through them like you wouldn't believe . I take too much gear . When I started to fish when I was a teenager I had a similar bag left it behind one day . Thought I've dusted off my old shimano 1000 might as well take less . Besides my donation helps the animals
-
Now those who know me . Know I wear a back pack with my gear in it . Me being me I have taken to much . Years ago I bought a back pack from Aussie disposals didn't last very long cost way too much . I volunteer at the RSPCA store at Kidman Park . Ive bought a couple of old fishing books . But while emptying the large metal donation bins ( yes old hop along gets in the bins lol). A back pack was donated cloth almost army not quite and small . So for a gold coin donation ive decided to try again . Will cut down what I take see how long this Coopers beer back pack last

Let's not forget it hasnt got hot yet might turn around .

Just an update Tackleworld didn't have the size told me like before you can't use single hooks on DC so I bought barbless trebles to try out I'll just try on this lure
-
Thanks TL once I get time I'll head into TW and get a small amount . Still it was awesome watching the water erupt . And I got three of the four by casting the lure into or around the boil . Worked better by just casting and they hit a still lure.
-
Sounds like me got to do some shopping.who sells them in Adelaide or online

Hey Mr Fish funny you should say that got some salmon 4 today at the lake biggest was only 30. Number 5 was slightly bigger i felt it hit felt like it was gone almost landed it spat the bottom trebles. When I looked at the double clutch afterwards bottom trebles intact Top ones all gone just the shaft ( sorry couldn't think of a better word ) left. I should've gotten more number 1 I got at 6.15 then by 6.50 I was going to change the lure I didn't get time the water just went on the boil and birds went off was insane and fun Double clutch hooks are crap imho
-
Thanks HB I went down the other week it was supposed to be high tide it was like they didn't open the gate . And a dolphin was cruising a metre out from the rock wall up from the bridge . The rocks that should be in the water were covered in weed and it was out from the steps. I'll leave the pat a little longer
-
Any reports of the Pat lately . Last time I went down they hadn't let the tide in . And it was still covered in that weed it gets in Winter . Is it still covered in weed ?

I am getting back into double clutches a 75 mm blue back Silver side got me a 21 cm salmon next trip lost something bigger next trip one hit just before 8 am lost the lure. After I lost it put on an older double clutch I own didn't cast as well. Friday replaced the 75 mm blue one I lost same colour and a smaller double clutch olive Green Silver side . Doesn't cast as far as the 75 but landed me a 30 cm salmon . Can't wait for the bream to return .
