within a few weeks of buying it had issues with the drag and bail arm. Shimano gave me the worst service ive ever experienced so not buying from them again... And yes that flex is very noticeable. Ive switched to Daiwa, bought myself a certate and have ZERO regrets!!!

i have a stradic ci4+ and hate it. As for the ballisytic great reels as are the new 2015 freams!

my 58cm kgw was the same, didnt taste like whiting at all

Just get a certate like me and you wont be dissapointed I have the emeraldas infeet and that isnt bad for the money but too big for my breaming so just use it for squid but the anti reverse is on its way out. Luvias are amazing too AND LIGHT! New luvias out next month

Just another marketing ploy really but one rod is made for plastics, one for cranks, one for surface etc etc

Whoops yup that was meant to be $450 not $50 ahahah i wish!

Yeah the more expensive sensors are the new ones with better components such as fuji K-Guides

AGS at the moment is only available on the high end daiwas, but as all daiwa products go the high end componentry will eventually trickle down to cheaper gear. At the moment i think the chapest rod with AGS is the commander? Looking at around $50 for that one, $500 for a battler and not sure about the silver creek or gekkabijin. One to keep an eye out for when it is released will be the new silver wolf rods and reels. Bream specific actions and the said AGS

I so want a sensor surf! But for throwing lures id probably go the seajigger, they feel amazing! God i spend too much money on this sport lol

yup, AGS and all the other rod technologies put into the blank. Ill be getting a team daiwa commander in the near future

I just got the new daiwa black label V2 rod and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZZING ROD!!! This was an upgrade from my previous daiwa generation black which served me well for a few years

Yeah im the same. Im 16 and brought a new combo home the other day (daiwa certate 2004 and daiwa black label v2) somehow mum noticed and flipped when i told her what it was worth ahahahhaha can only imagine what its like with a mrs...

Make sure you get yourself a couple of daiwa double clutches both in 60mm and 75mm BIG BREAM CANDY ALRIGHT!!! One of my double clutches would have caught at least double if not triple every lure in my tackle box hands down!!! Before i got a double clutch my go to was the SX40 in 351 or 307. Will be getting myself a few nories, OSP and megabass to trial but im tipping they wont be as productive as the double clutch.... And yes that elusive 50cm bream is definitely on the cards for me also

Not a luvias

Ive only used them twice and pulled 3 or 4 bream, how do i post a pic here without creating a new thread?

Victor turn off on south road, may or may not have been my idea for him to get them in.... Also has the dragon jigheads to go with them

Kosta at the scene has the marukyus and isomes

Meh, heard they arent overly great and you will never beat the crankas or marukyus

I was in my boat in the coorong and Alexsfishin came along in a yak. As he was leaving he decided to be funny and grab my line, well karma got him quickly as he capsized! Ended up losing 2 quality combos, his catch and a heap of other gear. As well as being freezing cold! Or it could be fishing port willunga and having a rogue wave come along, knock my stradic ci4+ and daiwa generation black combo out of the holder and wash it out to sea. Couple hours swimming to no avail. Packed up to leave, decided what the hell one more look! 50M down the beach, i couldnt believe my eyes... it washed u

Christened 2 of those 3 zerek shrimp too Kuerschie!

Hey fellas, decided to go for a bit of an explore on saturday to scope out some new likely looking areas further up the onky than my usual haunts as well as try out some different lures than i would usually use. Wasnt dissapointed landing 4 or 5 bream on the lures but also got but by 3 others on zman grubz and an ecogear sx40 when they decided to go home after getting hooked! Biggest went 33.5cm so not a bad fish but lots of little tackers around. Should start to fire up soon... i hope! Once again all my image files are too big to upload so if anyone knows how to lower the file size please l

I went to the onky on saturday and smacked a few average size breambos on various lures

hard to say, been slow on the salmon front but ive cracked a few pbs and firsts so id say it isnt too bad ... Although ive struggled on the whiting lately as well

well done, where did you find so many salmon, I can barely get a touch lately Took the boat down to the coorong, kayaker said there was a big school all around him and told us to anchor up next to him (if you are on here cheers mate, top bloke!) chucked the berley pot over the side and before we knew the sounder was absolutely chockers! gave Alexsfishin a call and him and his mate tied off to the side of us on their yak. They were smashing the flick baitds, didnt even need to cast just dropped straight down and whack!!

in the surf, i cant go past the maria mucho lucirs if the fish are schooled or good ol halco twisties if im searching for fish. As for light tackle casting the daiwa double clutch and squidgy flickbaits definitely turn it on for me! landed over 150 fish yesterday at last count on those 2 lures with over 30 on the one flickbait before it was completely torn off the jighead
