i spotted a 12ft 8-12kg rod reel plus fishing line combo from penn that i going to mention for 119 plus delivery online only because im going to recommend this to my work mate who is in need of another combo plus his gear outdated and a good fish will bust his plastic reel thus losing the fish most likey

got bored as fishings been slow due to poor whether and family commitments
so made a few lures up thought i whack up a pic or two
the clear lures are made from un formed plastic bottles
stainless thru wire (tig wire) coke can insert a sinker for rear weight stainless rings and just back to back hooks and hot glued thru the top
they are not cut in half they weight from 70 to 85grams and ride just under with a bubble trail cast great too
just gotta hook a fish on it and i should feel amazing knowing i made it and it works i have used the mother can one only travel thru the water awesome and one of the blokes at work says a stupid fish is gonna eat that i reakon a good fish will time will tell
i really should have posted it better but spur of the moment thing
cheers

From what I remember most English man spool them up with 15lb mono but if I was to have one. I would try 20lb braid / mono depending on reel capacity. Rod just suit your chosen line class round 8 or 10kg it's up to you also if your lb or on a boat too
i buy a 3 yr licence anyhow more importantly does this mean there gonna restock jewie fingerlings again and other fish could not find info to say they did last year
also didn't they downsize with that move from cronulla
cheers
just wondering is it possible to start a outboard motor that requires fwd control with them not installed quite sure its in neutral as well

are penn squalls bait casters or just overheads im new to baiting got a 12ft rod rated to 3 ounces and need a reel to learn on they are lever drag and star drag
just dont want to get the wrong reel but they nicely priced though
interested to hear peoples thoughts on this looking at same thing try an overhead rod ordered reel undecided looking a daiwa seagate , saltist and shimano tekota and torium because i only get one chance at this thats my budget
mine an 11ft 8 to 15 kg spinfisher sbg rod matched with a penn slammer 760 baitrunner style reel all up its under $200 rod reel line and all
i also have the 560 version too it easily catches jewies biggest on the 560 model is 80cm nice tussle too but that was on 7ft rod
you could get a fin- nor biscayne its an alloy reel not plastic has carbon fibre drag for like $80 or pfluger salt at $120
need any other info can shoot me pm if ya like

for its shelf life or best used as bait is 48hours maybe 72 to keep it as its freshest the flesh should be firm still regardless whether its gutted or not
most likely better gutted anyhow as the gut has no chance to breakdown cause it aint there
thats me but
