Hi Micky. They certainly have it in their online store. You may be able to get it 'click and collect'.  Regards, HBt.

Hi Micky. Check out the Shimano Sling tackle bag at BCF. Might be what you want. Regards, HBt.

Wow looks good . Haven’t waded in a decade but wow 

Have you looked at Kmart and such? Surely they would have a bag to suit.

Also found a cheaper version on a roadside junk pile😉
I needed a tackle storage solution for wading
I just cut the internals out of a soft esky and sewed in the shoulder harness with $2 buckles from Aussie disposals😉

Thanks in a couple of weeks I’m back volunteering for jobseeker at a charity op shop I’ll keep an eye open 

Op shops often have old lap top bags for $2
plenty of compartments etc

Was just looking at these for the yak, PVC for toughness, (Anaconda and BCF seem to have the thinner nylon style ones); $13.50 delivered for 5L

I ended up buying a full backpack dry bag as weight is not an issue.

Anaconda might have something.
What about a wading bag like the alvey ones.
 

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but seeing it wasn't closed, thought I add my 2 cents.
Back in the 70's and early 80's we'd venture to the OH breakwater a couple of times year. Always in daylight. Night, lol, was too much like playing Russian roulette with the devil.
Aside from mulloway and snapper, if you were lucky, you'd hook up some decent size King Gorge Whiting too. Though, to be fair, in those days, fish were aplenty, locally.
Unless the breakwater has undergone repairs since, rock hopping was definitely a task you had to take care at.  The snail win the race on this one, that's for sure.

The other thing, not sure if it's still a problem, but there was a vermin (rat) issue. Some where the size of small cats, and not scared to have a got at you, if you cross paths with them. Hence a good pair of solid boots, with a well gripping sole, and even steel caps wont go astray. Especially if those rats are still inhabiting the rocks.

Red eyes no problem. Can do any type of eye really.

You do better than me I started lure fishing after saltwater fly fishing 10 years ago the Diawa aird rod was the first one I used . The 2-4 kilos I’ve been using weren’t cutting it for me the savage travel. rod was great over the other two rods until one of the eyes fell off .
i have used diawa aird 2500 back when they were massive I’ve used shimano  sienna 1000 and my shimano 750 now with a smaller 2500 .
the aird was much lighter than the 2-4 kilos plus would cast the smaller light weight lures . Once I have my first cast with this diawa 1-3 hyper rod I’ll try the smaller reels that was my dream back in 2015 before my head injury .
lets be honest the shop person tried to take me for a ride I should’ve known it was a bait rod like a broom stick .
i wanted a lighter rod my dream catch bigger fish on smaller reels I’ll get back to it pretty sure the 750 and maybe the 1000 have landed me 38 cm bream the old aird got me bream and mullieway

Tackleworld have the Infeet 7'2 0.5-3kg but I reckon the 7'3 1-4kg might be what I am after and they don't have it! Bit of a drive to The Scene but I might ring em.

Ok guys I’ve been using the team Diawa hyper rod 1-3 kilos love it . Have yet to catch a legal bream been having fun with tiny STs yesterday 36 today 25 . I’ve been swapping with three reels besides the 2500 reel as I’ve mentioned using laguna 1000 and sienna 1000 . Same rod smaller lures . Laguna reel when I got over the line issues casts the smaller lures further than the Sienna. Rod I’m happy with 

Sorry to take over the topic I started 😂 I am absolutely loving the diawa Hyper  1-3 kilo rod haven’t landed a legal bream yet but it will happen again love the rod

I've been meaning to put this on the site for some time, forgot all about it..
Not for the want of trying I finally caught and released a decent size wild brown trout for a change. Even better was the fact it was my personal best of the season so far. Still hoping to break the one kilo mark & better before the season ends on the last Sunday closest to the end of April 2021. The larger three rivers (Meander, Mersey & Leven) I fish do hold a few trout well over the kilo size, it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

How did you get on with Tackleworld? Interestingly I thought they might have checked it over before you took it. Regards, HBt. 
As an aside have a new 2-4kg rod on its way. Will be a new challenge as it is 9'6" in length so looking forward to what it might do. The hope is that I will be able to reach certain areas at low water that have previously been out of reach. Time and my casting ability will tell. 😉

Try 4 lb leader can be hard with glasses 🤓😂

Bugger that suck mate. Never done any returns at Tackleworld but the guys are pretty good down there.
 
I got some 6lb J-Braid x8 grand on my reel this morning, damn it's thin i wont be trying leaders on without my glasses.  

Haven’t had to return broken things . I was sold a rod that was wrong for lure fishing store took it back no issue . Good luck 

I've got some 20lb Power pro on a 4000 set up. and it pains me every time i wind it in with some load on it. The noise of the "rope" going thru the guides would make baby jeebus cry.  

Are you flicking lures at bream then yes at least 6 lb braid and 4 lb leader 

Since i saw the AIRD-X combos almost 2 years ago i wanted one but to tight to pay the $250ish. BCF doing a clearance at the moment because the new AIRD 20's are out. So at 00:30 this morning before waiting to leave for the Coorong i bit the bullet. 2-4kg 2500. Club price $160 but i had a $20 voucher i won from the Gone Fishing Day so worked out to be $140. My kinda price.
 
Now to figure out what braid weight to run... I've always run 8lb but might go down to 6lb. Do people think that the 2lb makes a lot of difference? I've already decided on 8x J-Braid.
