HAWKSBURY BUOY

Yeah says that but is all jap to me lol

Thanks for the reply Slinky yeah wish the reel was a 6-8000 model rod has got me stuffed as the tip is so thin about the size of a needle, was wondering about using it in oyster leases and just drop the bait between the racks and just lift them out or maybe for fly fishing can just drop the fly on a fish without a cast or splash got me thinking now. You dont know what the floats or sinkers are ???Also for the rod says expert in saltwater original design Full carbon rod with security holograms over it so i recon be worth a quid cheers

Was given a lot of fishing gear and a few large telescopic fishing rod 5.3 mtrs in length made by gamakatsu?? or special most in japanese looked in google only can find japanese spinning rod anyone know what it can be used for here or used them befor??? Picture of rod is similar off internet seat is off my rod Also some type of floats that are weighted never seen before

Hey sunnyboy1 No i dont need to get a good reel as mentioned i have a stella reel, : just trying to justify if i should keep it or not as i have two other good reels Daiwa Freams, Biomaster 4000 and no decent rods except for my old trust ugly beach rod

I know this topic has been talked about a few times Interested in the Raiders knowledge in fishing with such gear I can justify top price gear $2000 plus for the big fish tuna ,Kingies etc Now what about the bread and butter fishing that most people do and enjoy Can you still justify spending $1000 on a reel Yes you get precision cut gears and more bearing are great and yes i have a Shimano Stella 2000 given to me by my uncle and agree they are better quality and feel nice but your unlikely to catch any more fish because of them, They may even last 10 years but its highly unlikely any one will still be using them in 10 years most people update there gear pretty regularly, I have had top notch diawa bait caster thats about 10years old and it feels very ordinary when compared to a cheap $100 reel these days. I find it hard to justify to myself at least, spending $600 to $1000 dollars on a reel that in the end wont really be out preformed by a $200 to $300 reel. Rods i know nothing about only the action, fast or slow taper able to lift and wind without breaking it and good guides,again does all this come into say bream fishing These are questions a novice rod builder would look for and not just for looks Is sensitivity the key factor? feeling for bites What kind of blank do you look for? Why? Long or short? Do guides make a difference? Is titanium any better than ceramic or stainless or plastic in guides? Does bindings make a difference Does a blank's taper make a difference? Does a blanks spline mean anything to you? How can you tell if a rod has power in it? Carbon fibre or fibreglass So if you had to buy one or the other what would it be Rod or reel? Many thanks looking forward to any comments john

Hi matey do you have a card already?? if so are you buying a code to unlock the mapsfor the East coast or just going to purchase a full card with all maps unlocked? Maybe able to help if you want to unlock a certain area on C-map type cards

Yeah i thought of that and mates also commented so could well be, their were three lines in the water and all were as they were snipped above the leader all at once no tug of being snagged at all just a nick and nothing just couldn't justify three lines being eatin by leatherjackets within seconds and re rigged four timesso they got 12 8oz of lead from us

i will be in it matey just about to move up their

i would love to go never caught anything really big before

Nice spot strait out from the heads aprox 3 kls out in the 50-60 mtr range the other week in a 2 mtr swell but managed to catch 1 snapper aprox 1kg, nice sweetlip 2kg, flathead 2kg and a hell of a toad fish, first time out their bottom must be rocky as most of our gear got snipped on the rocks all at once many times so will lose a lot of gear but will get a feed

Was up their a few weeks ago just a few Shovel nose and a few bream, small salmonNine mile not to bad either need 4wd though, night for the jewies Maybe up there for the day over the long weekend looking for houses maybe a little i hope

Yeah i don't think sharks like brown slime, i know i would shat myself

Yeah is a good ramp now bit crowded on a good day

Mate Go Fish Aust with John Mellion was a top show in its time Watch it now and then for a laugh, have about 20 dvds but most new stuff Matt if you want the best of gone fishing let me know

Hey ya 9090 i have the Biomaster 4000 sd67h which is a great reel but my Stella 2000 is so much better.Both these reels only available from Japan and need to be imported don"t know why the 2000 never came out here,if you are in need to buy maybe willing to sell
