Got a sol 4000 with 20lbs braid on a lox blade (7ft / 8kg) great outfit! Perfect for snapper, kings, jewies etc.. The sol is the daiwa equivalent to the ci4. Hope that helps! Jono

Thanks for the help, ill give the 250g jigs a shot.

The 250g jigs sound perfect for me. Thanks for the help everyone.

Hello everyone. Got myself a t-curve deep jig 200 and its rated for 170 - 225g jigs. Would i be be able to use a 250g jig on it and still be able to work the jig properly? And also what kind of depths can i run with those sorts of weights? Thanks for the help. Jono

Got the reel back 6 weeks + later with the problem being a seized line roller bearing. Supposedly it was my fault that it happened so they charged me 40 odd dollars, gotta love a 10 year warrenty Never mind i thoroughly wash down all my tackle right down to the last swivel. Got bored waiting and i was ready to buy another outfit for the season. Was going to get another stradic but went to a daiwa sol 4000 instead which as it happens leaves the stradic for dead! But i've got my stradic back now and its brand new again! casts like a bullet, smooth as silk. Thanks for the help

Hey everyone just a quick question, what knot must i use to tie a leader onto a bimini twist? Thanks Jono.

You made the right choice! Ive used the baitrunner 8000 many times on kings and its a great reel, especially if your thinking of downrigging. Its got enough drag for sydney although in saying that when i caught a 95cm king it was locked up and still screaming . T-curve would suit it really nicely, great rods. Good luck on those kings.

Ive sent the reel in for repair. I noticed that the drag clicker was starting to not work properly, every so often it would stop clicking while taking line then the drag would go sloppy?? Be intresting to see what the problem is. Also opened up the real and was clean as brand new. Keep ya posted in a week or so. Jono.

Hey everyone. I've got a stradic 2500fi and i've had it for about a year now and absolutely love it. Recently i've noticed that its a bit rough, and quite noisy. Every time i use the reel i lock up the drag and give it a light wash off with the hose at the end of the day. I've also recently oiled everything. Just wondering why it would be going so noisy and rough and how i could fix this? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for a great day! I decided to come out for the day and make the 3am drive down to be fishing before sunrise, well worth it . It was great to finally put some names to faces being my first social i really enjoyed it. Thanks again to everyone involved in organising. And hopefully see everyone out on the water, Until then, tight lines!!!

Hands down metals/slices. Halco twister in the appropriate size is my favorite for both surface and trolling, caught plenty of taylor with them. Don't have to worry about teeth as well, never had a problem with being cut of by teeth even after a dozen or so half decent sized ones and on 5lbs leader

Thats what i thought... Thanks!

Hey everyone, got a bit of a question about lumo beads. Im considering running a lumo bead just above a small snap on my light rig. Ill be using the rig for squiding, bonnies, taylor, rat kings etc... And also for flicking plastics. Is it a good idea to use a lumo bead for what im thinking of? Then what about my heavier rigs.. Just above a livie rig on my kingie outfit? Using the lumo bead just to protect the top eye. Thanks for the help. Jono

Thanks fishmaniac but now another question is the fads the only place to catch them? And where are the fads? Thanks again..

Hi everyone. Ive caught some nice kings this season and ever since i started fishing i've always wanted to catch a mahi mahi! So the question i have is whats the best way to go for them i.e. bait, lures, outfit etc.. and where must i go for them? Thanks for the help, im seeing everyone catching them on the forum so now is as good a chance as ever. Jono
