  1. I think MM in the mentioned rod model # MT7144-MM stands for Mid/Medium Mount, and the first guide likely is not extra large either and not far from reel seat. If that the case - I would be probably looking for a smaller - 6 inch used Alvey reel instead of 6.5 inch reel. Or, would get a proper 12 foot low mount rod with 6.5 inch reel for a better overall performance.
  2. Tell her - it is EOFY clearance on jews. 2 for 1. Only a few large sizes left. While stocks last. New stock will require bigger boat.
  3. I would expect that they are farmed, unless stated 'wild caught'.
  4. Are you sure? https://www.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/new-covid-19-restrictions-for-greater-sydney-23-june-2021#metropolitan-sydney-map

    Multi Tool ??

    A few more vintage videos of K-Tel products: https://metv.com/lists/22-wacky-as-seen-on-tv-products-sold-by-k-tel-in-the-1970s?marketid=3
  6. Once a small (2 inch) SP melted a hole in my tackle box. Since that time I keep SP in plastic bags - normal SP in normal/sandwich bags, Zman in original Zman bags, and no issues.
  7. They had (and may be still have) a "diplomatic" team /ambassadors - in a VIC fishing forum. From memory they did not offer any discount to their forum members. So, I think we are in a better position if they still offer discounts to Fishraider members.
  8. I would not go either. Even without Covid. If you buy the ticket and visit a decent Auto Show with the intention to check out some cars - no one will tell you are not allowed to sit in a new model Hyindai, MB, Toyota, VW etc just because someone bought it yesterday just like in a next door car dealership. I.e. you get what you paid for. Here, it is not a Boat Show, it is just a annual market with entrance fees and a paid walk along the marina. Just my opinion, based on my experience.
  9. I think it was actually that one.
  10. VIC has/had 2 hours fishing limit due to COVID.
  11. I'd rather be buying 2-3 cheaper rods within the total budget (EOFY sales are coming soon) for the listed purposes instead of 1 rod that supposed to handle from luderick to grouper and casting 30-80g lures on top of it. Or, would just choose 1 designed for the purpose that has priority at the moment. It is not a saving to get 1 rod for everytning as in best case it will do 1 thing well. Same applies to reels.

    C-Map Reveal

    C-Map/Navico say that they will have soon REVEAL Shaded Relief on their Phone Apps without area restriction. They offer 2 weeks trial before annual fees, as well as integration with some sounders.
  13. That could be another challenge.
  14. You can go under Spit Bridge or Harbour Bridge (Piers) - whatever is closest to you - in the evening / on weekend. Plenty of people to watch using that technique as well as results.
  15. Great project result! What is the final length? Did you consider 2 man saw?
  16. My expressed opinion was related to the provided website - not Fishraider forum. What I meant I would not rely on that website as a technical source of information about line life spans, while their articles still can be used for entertaining purposes. I hope that clarifies.
  17. I don't mean to be rude , but I am struggling to comprehend where are those line life numbers are coming from? IMO they should stick to their 'Fishing date' and 'Five real ways to make money while fishing' articles as it is more entertaining.

    Kabura jigs

    Yes, they love Japanese 'heavy metal' in NZ . From memory these have been at least couple of years on the market, I would check also NZ forums /FB pages for feedback as they have rather similar fish species choice to ours.
  19. Candles ? No battery required. 12.57 lumen each . They are waterproof, floating and working.
  20. Frank said the right thing - it is better to introduce yourself first on the forum. Here on E bay - still 3 (SX 48F #311) lures are available: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/132479667156?hash=item1ed8674bd4:g:mUIAAOSwaLdaZkmF&frcectupt=true

    Paying GST

    Nothing wrong with supporting local australian household - money saved is money earned. Just out of interest - do their products come with warranty e.g from Japanese Shimano or the shop one?
  22. Penn Mariner has a solid glass tip - I would choose graphite or at least full composite rod for better sensitivity for lures.
  23. Excellent catch! What rod do you use from the boat for ludericks?
