What did you buy today?
Submitted by wickky on Mon, 2015-03-09 23:06
On a couple other forums I'm on they have these threads. So I thought why not start one here! Hopefully it hasn't been done!
Pretty much just a thread to show everyone what you purchased today/lately and make some people jelous 
Ill start with what turned up in the mail today.
Shimano duffel bag,
Shimano bait binder/wallet, well thats what the Yanks call them. And a reel case, wee bit smaller than I wanted but meh it will do.
Also did not order these at all but I'm not complaining haha 2 Shimano Magellan Fleece jumpers.
Cheers Zac

Nothing
Didn't buy anything today ( but spend heaps usually )
What I did do , Turn all my braid around ( on my bream gear ) to extend the life of it. When you use a reel alot and spend money on good braid, try turning it around and put the old top layer to the bottom of the spool. This will give you fresh line on top of your backing to fish another season .

and a good way to do get even
and a good way to do get even tension on after reversing it
Is to tie a kite on to it and let it all out on a windy day then back onto the spool
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Funny that's what my mate did the other day, he is in a factory arprox 2km away, rang me and said look over towards his place. He had a kite about 600m up on a big handline. His daughter was hanging onto it sitting in a wheelchair going up and down the road,

Got a bridge rectifier for the boat after it stopped charging yesterday. Factory regulator/rectifiers don't seem to last. Will have to monitor voltage incase of overcharging but with 2 batteries to charge plus accessories on hopefully will be ok. Plus bridge rectifier only $5 compared to $70-150 for proper part.

They certainly do. That's where my 12 vibes came from. Also bought several bigger lures from the boat show. Does anyone else think that the "fishing & diving" part of the name should be taken off? there was more fishing stuff at the 4x4 show.

Thought I would stock up on a few plastics and jig heads for the planned work trip in may to exxy. Took the better half with me to keep me under control with the sale on last weekend.
Well didn't that go to sh!t!! She saw the 'sale' signs and her natural instincts kicked in! So many colours I didn't want or need but they looked 'pretty' so in the basket they went.
By the end of the weekend I had 30 packets of plastics and 20 packets of jig heads. Also something else I didn't want but ended up with is a 55L waeco esky and for her a shimano
2-5kg 7ft 'lipstix', apprently I need to get her a pink reel to suit the rod.
Cheers Zac!
And the kick in the guts our 3 week work trip to exmouth got canned due to the mess getting destroyed :(

Hi, read this with the thought the trailer plates must be extra special
Your name, or boats name etc ??
I use the Anti-Theft screws on my 4X4 plates
Only because I've 'special plates' and both are different sizes too
Have tried to remove them at one stage to check out the design - they do work

Ready Ramp
Nothing today, but last week my ute tub extender arrived, but I use it the other way around to contain stuff in the back that generally flogs around in the back when turning etc. Doubles up as a ramp if you have motorbikes and stuff to put in the back.

new combo
HDI Elite 7 Chirp for the Dommie--the old Sitex that came off the Navigator with all my marks on it can't be backed up or marks transferred, so a new one it is. And raided the remainders bin at Tackle World Geraldton for cheap jigs, scored a half dozen 75-85g $8 and $10 Shimano butterfly jigs, even a lumo one, as well as squid jigs. All this for the annual Ningaloo trip, up there for a month, leave in just over two weeks. Oh, and shook hands on a deal to fit a s/h F115 in place of the twin 2s mercs.

Let us know how the Fin Nor goes hutch. I was tossing up between that and the Daiwa Seagate 35H and went with the Seagate as it was a little cheaper.
Been a great reel seeing off the Pinks, Salmon and Rays so far but it hasn't really been tested.

Haha, funny that, I was seriously contemplating getting the Seagate 35H as well as the LTC30, what threw me off was it was the narrow version, looked great though!
My mate has had the lethal for a couple months and landed a couple black rays without faltering so far but nothing to really test it. The cast control is a dream, no overwinds has allowed me too confidently go without mono topshot and so far so good
