noelm Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 1 hour ago, wazatherfisherman said: Hi Noel yes there were- 3 spool varieties, plastic, metal then aluminium. 4 to 1 ratio. The one above has the "one-piece take-apart spool" Had a few Jigmasters over the years, you could pull them to bits with a thumb screw and a twist of the side plate, pretty nifty in its day, unfortunately the gears couldn't cope with big heavy jigs and large Kingfish, so I switched to 4/0 wide Senators, with 40LB line.

New Signing Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We had the job masters as bottom bashing reels. They were used for near on 30 years never serviced lol I think we still have them somewhere but all the drag systems have seen better days. I did send one away to Penn Fenwick to be repaired but it was never the same. There is also one on the bottom somewhere in about 25 metres of water off Gerroa. That was the last time grandfather just laid a rod on the floor hanging over the side............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck- hope you both get fish on them (or any lures!) and bring them home safely. Old stuff is still around, but not always easy to replace a 'favourite'!

TAZ Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Left an old Jarke 3 piece cane fly rod. I know nothing about it other than the old bloke that owned it back in the 90's had it for a while. He passed away and it was going to be thrown in the tip. I can't fiind any info on it. Right an Abu, Swedish made, fly rod from the early 70's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZ Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 My Grandfather's old fishing creel. When he died in the early 60's it was given to my Dad and when he died it became mine. My Mum said her father used to love going fishing at Port Philip bay on the jetties. As a kid with my dad he always took with us fishing. I must have sat on that hundreds of times with a rod in my hand catching reddies and trout I reckon as a kid. Probably close to 90 yrs old I think it is. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmk1962 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) On 8/18/2019 at 3:33 PM, wazatherfisherman said: Fishing reel "evolution"- the "Silver Series" from Daiwa were one of the first "external spool" threadlines in Australia. They had 'ball bearings' and a range of features not seen in this type of reel- no more line caught behind the spool like could happen on the internal (in housing) spool type. Bottom left was the 'prestige' range, a Daiwa "Gold Series" this tiny one held about 120 mtr's of 4 lb mono. The one above it is a 1000 series- brand new with box, also had a "snap-off" spool button for quick change. Bottom right was the largest a 7000C made in Japan, still a quality reel made to last (it's about 42 years old now) WOW... so many memories seeing that particular shiny silver... it actually brought a nostalgic tear to my eye ! I had a 5000C, 20lb mono on a 12ft brown berkley beach rod with cork grip .... man o man... so many memories just came back. THANK YOU !

curra Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Just been scrolling through & saw this, l was sharing a house in Currarong for a few years with Paul Baker who was skippering Pegasus....some great jumbos caught back then. l have a few pics from then On 7/4/2019 at 8:01 PM, Blackfish said: After reading those post on the Pro's running out of the South Coast chasing Yellowfin on Rods and Reels I remembered one article I read a few years ago and found it. I would think after seeing the dates on here this may have been towards the end of that Era. This was in "Fishing World" September 1990 and the boat was "Pegasus" Edited February 1 by curra add text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curra Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1st pic is Paul (Pez) Baker, 2nd is Wal Balzan, one of Pauls deckies on Pegasus. l'll try and find more pics..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 I remember Pegasus well. There was a couple of regular pro boats over the years, the most “famous” was of course Ajax, and Hunky too, Melicent, and a bunch of others that came and went.
