Reel discussion

Dale the condoms are probably too small any how, but I suppose you could try plaiting three together and use 'em as a shock leader. The main difference between them and us is that they fish to live, we live to fish. Binder, keep an eye open for any Wilson Live Fibre Lightening 1-3kg rods there may be a few around at about $100 or even less. Great little rod, i have one and am not selling. Damiki may be bringing one out next year, it will retail for around $150 I'm told. You could enquire at Tackle World Southport in the meantime. Have to acknowledge that spin gear has its place as has BC but just happen to love the way BC retrieves.

On a side note about that. I know the condom king of PNG. Lives out your way too Dale. Just before Fernvale. Roland B. Know him?

No I don't, although the owners of the Fernvale pub are good mates with Riccard from Baia.  I think they went to school together.

I've got a spare 1-2 kg spin rod sitting in the shed for when I am feeling keen, its going to get stripped and rebuilt as a baitcaster as an experiment.

Got a cronarch 100 waiting to go on it.

[Member]

Binder, Sounds like a good combo mate, that Chronarch obviously one of the older model, what line you going to put o it?

Just finished looking at a recent AFC Bass comp where they were hauling 'em in. Matthew Mott is supposed to be pretty good and he was using a baitcaster almost the whole time, with a spinner bait.

I think if you were to ask Matthew Mott how good he was, he'd gladly tell you, but, just because he chooses to use a certain style of reel and a certain brand of lure (Which he plugs quite well) it doesn't mean that you will be as successful as he is.  Peter Brock drove Holdens, so do I, but I'll never be half the driver he was.  The whole thing is to use what you are comfortable with.

Some people can walk the dog and some cant. seen so many people that dont know how to impart action onto lures.

If you want to do something bad enough you will find a way, regardless of who you are. I just happened to notice him making a fair bit of use of a baitcaster. Another bloke uses fly gear. A mate of mine reckons that's an expensive way to catch less fish. Needless to say I have not been bitten by the fly casting thing...yet.

Steve, that's a direct quote from the Llayton Hewitt of comp fishing!

dunno..I saw A UTE going through Everton Park the other day..I thought brock may have been driving it..hehe

I have a 200e5 and just collected a new rod for it...for barra/cod..but now have to wait to get fit enough to go fishing again.

I was in awe of the casting ability of that bloke at the convention last year..and Fitzy is pretty accurate also..just ask Dale who had the family jewels on the line. Those blokes sure are accurate.

Car bills are stopping me from buying braid yet but still flicking around with ice blue on the new patriarch ... i think id have to take time to get used to the spin versions now, Some of the casts ive been making often leave me scratching my head "how the .... did i do that!"

Thought id get away from all the soft platic talk and back to the topic

A UTE, in Everton Park.  I bet he was obeying the speed limit and all traffic rules.
