Thank you

Hi All I'm planning to get a new rod . Prefer a rod around 7ft in length in 2 sections (easy to carry on train / ferry) able to cast lures around 40gms . Do you guys have personal recomendations based on personal experience .Hoping rod to be worth around 200$

Hi All Thanks for the info . I managed to have an entire fishing session without any wind knots " Fingers crossed". I realized a couple of mistakes I kept making . 1. Reel had too much line on it . Removed a bit of line so that it's not overspooled. 2. When I cast, if its against the wind . I get alot of slack line . To avoid it I close the bail when I feel there is enough line out . Once I close the bail I pull a bit of line with my hand . This avoids any slack on the line in the spool. Thank you all very much. Appreciate it. I use an FG knot

I use an fg knot .I will re spool to check again

Thank you

Hi All Need some info on how to reduce wind knots . I started spinning recently and keep getting wind knots quite often . I have a saragosa 6000 with 30lb tasline on a SHIMANO JEWEL 962 8-15KG SPIN ROD . Initially I believed the knots were caused cause the fluro was 60lb . I moved this down to 40lb and noticed some improvement . Any assistance would be appreciated Thanks

Thank you@connico

Hi All Just wanted to know how was your service experience for daiwa / shimano reels . Have any of you experienced difficulty servicing daiwa magseal reel . Do they cost alot to service? Thanks

Thank you all for the info

Found a way to get to the rocks

Spinning reel

Hi All I am looking for info on a lure fishing rod ( Spinning Reel) . Going to be using it for hardbody lures/ metal lures weighing around 50gms .Is there a difference between jig spin rod / top water rod ? I would be fishing off the rocks so something around 8ft rod length would be ideal . Shimano jewel had a top water rod around 8ft . Is this a good option, or if you guys know anything with Daiwa or Penn would be great Thanks

Thanks for the info Jim .I tried getting onto the rocks from the walkway but was unsuccessful . Usually when Im at the wharf I do a couple of guys fishing from there . I guess I would keep trying or one just go there to find that spot:)

How do you get there .I tried a couple of times but to no avail

Hi All Was planning on fishing for blackfish around The Entrance NSW " Land Base Fishing ". I would like to know around the Entrance if there is a good spot for getting their bait "sea grass". Thanks
