Just watched an IFish where Paul was after Snapper in Arno Bay. Apparently someone had called him a tool, so he went to the nearest hardware store and bought an 8mm ring spanner, got some big split rings and a couple spanner hooks and proceded to catch 3 BIG Snapper. THAT'S how you answer your critics.

He is a tool.  And damn proud of it.  I copped a stubbie cooler in the back of the head at the tackle show today and turned around and he had a grin from ear to ear.  Was good to catch up with Rex down there too.  He looks a bit different with the same haircut as me.  There is some good looking gear on it's way to us.  New Daiwas, new Sebilles, new River2Seas.  Big Loomis line-up.  Pricing seems pretty keen for the coming year too.

Yeh he had his old Dad there with him, but the old fella was struggling a bit with his baitcaster I thought. Looked like he had a birds nest in the background there at one stage, but hell he had a great day. I wonder if one of my kids would take me fishing on the Daly??? Nah.

Could this be the first millionaire from lure/plastic sales in Australia?


Or have squidgies worth 3 cents in china sold for $13.00 here already done that job?

Dunno but I reckon Shimano would be the big earners. It's called free enterprise.

Harry showed me some of his Barra lures at the Tackle Show last year.  He was keen on trying some in PNG.  They didn't seem to have the hooks to handle a Barra, let alone a Black Bass.

You dont have to worry about the hooks Dale, DD Squirrel 79 sp failure last night on Jew in the river, wire from bib is not attached to anything,  20lb Fins 30 lb fluro, 7kg drag  :(
