Nice one Hooky, Well I gave up the days fishing to start the retainer and what a bad idea that was. Digging trenches in the heat over the weekend gave me the . Wish I could have met you boys out there. Good to see boxhead didnt land any flatties on plastic you would have never heard the end of it Have to agree on the chilli crab mmm.mmmm Good to see you out fished Ziggy and Rod

Gday Swoffa, I thought the same thing when I was told, I have it on a 7ft squidgy spin with a Symetre reel and those that were at the Fig Tree social would have seen that I was casting every bit as far as them without putting in too much effort and I am about as tall as the 7 Dwarf's so I dont think it has effected the casting ability. I guess also it depends on what you are using it for. How far do you cast when chasing bream from your boat? Most of the time you are flicking not really casting. I am no expert but I took the advice of a pro 'Barra' and it worked. Not trying to stir you up and its interesting to hear opinions on matters like this one but I'll stick to my guns its worked for me. I guess everyone has too try the ideas of others and come up with the solution they agree with.

I use 8lb squidgy braid and had similar problems. Ian Miller sent some advice and once I applied it I havent had a problem since and I am using it with unweighted squidgy bugs aswell as other weighted plastics. I took off a 3rd of the line. From what I can gather from Barra's advice was it is desined to be spooled to 2/3 of your spool for best results. Its worked for me, so take your spool back to 2/3rds and see how you go. Cheers Luke.

What about battery fighters they look like a small transformer that plugs into your power point. I believe they are a trickle charge. Would they work on a 105 AH Deep Cycle?
