my mum has an old silstar rod which she has had for ages! they're definately a reliable rod, will check them out
-
thanks for the advice fellas, ive decided im gonna get two rods, the daiwa's do look nice and in the size range im after so i'll give that one a go for sure.. im gonna head into one of our friendly sponsers stores to make a decision on the other, expect i'll be there for a while and no doubt i'll spend some dosh on other fishing gear while im there, lol.. ;D

i could try and rebuild it but by the looks of it i dont think it'd last too long anyways, so i think im better off just getting a new rod.. those Daiwa's do look nice, I'll check them and the starlo stix out, thanks guys

In what way is it falling apart Yorkie?Cheaper option maybe to rebuild. Binding is relatively easy as u already have the spacings for the guides and even refitting the winch fitting should be a sinch!basically the guides had all rusted and a few snapped off, and the grip had chunks missing out of it.. The main tube of the rod had also started to rust..As its so old and had a good life I decided to ditch it and my mum is now using it as a stake to hold up tomato plants, lol.. ;DSo im now looking for another rod.. I have two others but I have this near new reel just sitting there so thought I'd

Hi Guys, can anyone reccomend me a good rod for catching salmon/whiting, maybe also small snapper. I am using a Sedona 4000FB reel. I am looking at spending around $100 and would prefer sticking to shimano but I'd be willing to give another brand a go, thanks :)my trusty ugly stick i had for 10+ years has finally started to fall apart..

thanks for the tip mate, the weed can get pretty bad up there sometimes especially after a few windy day/nights.. Dont think i've fished brighton before so I'll have to head up there during my holidays..
-
i hear ya ranger, will definately support the sponsers of this great site.. ;)sorry to go off topic but im heading up to semaphore saturday, do many people catch snook there? im eager to catch one (my fist), heard they put up quite a fight.. :icon_e_biggrin: my mate often catches them bit further up at the break waters..
-
thanks for the tip ranger, yeh looks like those teeth can do some damage, lol.. i'll get a couple of the yo zuri minnows for now but I'll make sure to stock up on the cheap metal ones for more regular use.. :)are they the same as the ones they stock in kmart? their about 3 inches and have a holographic pattern on each side?
-

thanks benny, is there any particular colours that work best? Im guessing you'd use a darker one for overcast days?
-
thanks yobbo, i'll grab a couple of those then, was planning on heading into salisbury tackle world as thats the closest to me.. so where do i get one of those cards, lol?

hoping to try some lure fishing in january up at Ardrossan but wouldnt have a clue where to start. I'll be targeting snook, salmon and whatever else they catch up there, mainly off the jetty. Could someone recomend me a few good lures to start off with, I've had a look through the threads here but theres so many different lures! any suggestions would be great, SP or HP, thanks. :)would this one be the best for snook? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280278940515

no prob, i'll get 1 bright coloured and 1 dull and try my luck at Ardrossan in january.. I bought alot of el cheapo squid jigs of ebay last year and they dont seem to work to well, hopefully these will work better..
-
thanks for the tip benny, makes sense to me.. have you tried these ones? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260328408426they look pretty realistic when in the water apparently, i'll get a couple of these if they are good..
