  1. T curve revolution 862 4-8kg Shimano Stradic 4000 15lb braid.
  2. Have a 2005 Tohatsu 18hp motor and took it out for a spin today. Got to the ramp first pull and it started but could not get the revs down. Sounded as if the idle was at 50% throttle or more. Not feeling satisfied with this packed up and went home to sort this annoyance out. Took the cowling off and everything looked in order and again started at home with full choke, no choke and still the same problem. Any ideas to fix this idling problem? Cheers Harry
  3. Just after abit of info on some spots in the Harbour. Haven't been out for a fish in a while due to school commitments. What place's have been working in the Harbour? You can send me a PM if you don't wish to disclose spots Thanks in advance Harry.
  4. nice mixed bag of fish What wharf were you fishing at if you dont mind me asking? Im keen to catch a few kings!
  5. Cracker of a kingy, top effort on light gear
  6. Had a Shimano Starlo Stix gifted to me as a present just before christmas. When rigging my line up i pulled some drag through the rod to give me some slack line and the rod tip snapped just below the 2nd runner from the top. Is this breakage covered under warranty and if so how do i go about getting a new rod? Cheers
  7. I have a Daiwa Saltist 4500 and this is a very rugged reel for the rocks. When looking at rods if your going to be moving alot around the rocks i would suggest going fibreglass for your first rod because it is alot more durable against dropping. Graphite does give more feel but..
  8. I got mine spooled with 30lb Fins on a Silstar Powertip 8-12kg. Great setup for spinning off the rocks
  9. Nice solid kings there guys
  10. They seem like another great invention in top water fishing. Would love to give them a go when the water warms
  11. Nice blackfish , How deep were you fishing and how far out? I hear run up is best for blackfish? I have tried 4 sesions at that spot and only got one down. Maybe its the weed im using Appreciate any help Thanks Harry

    Lure Reel

    Raiders, I have had my Daiwa exceler 2000 for about 2 years now, and ive decided its time for an upgrade. ( Frigate mackeral smash and burn drag ) Willing to spend enough to get me something that will last and be manufactured to a higher quality A few reels that have caught my attention are: - Shimano Twin Power - Shimano FireBlood - Daiwa Sol - Daiwa Luvias - Daiwa Certate Ive had a feel of some of these reels in a tackle store, and the build quality seems far superior to other lower end reels. Seem to be falling towards the Sol/TwinPower because of the money factor . Wondering if any of you Lure specialiasts have any views on these reels, or Pros and Cons It will be matched to a Shimano 2-4kg. Cheers Harry
  13. Nice haul there. Is cabbage or weed working best in the harbour at the moment? Having trouble sourcing weed, but can find abit of cabbage.
  14. Any jewie is a good catch Nice work
  15. If fishing with bait, the leader is not as important. Depending on what species of fish, i would be running between 40cm-200cm of leader, which is then atached to the hook. You can also add a swivel in the middle if need be. If lure fishing i would be using around a rod length of good mono leader or flurocarbon. The best knot to attach leader to braid in my opinion is a double uni as its easy to tie.
