bags vs eskis.
Submitted by Sea goat on Fri, 2018-08-03 10:27hey guys.
been reading ur posts and these bags seem pretty popular. I currently have an eski, but am thinking about getting one of the cooler bags instead.
just wondering what makes people choose them over an eski? any issues with spines etc wrecking the bag? and how do they go with crays/crabs etc?
my current eski is pretty bulky, so can see the advantage of saving some space...just curious as to what other advantages/disadvantages people find?
cheers!

Submitted by TerriblePaulzy on Wed, 2018-08-01 19:58hey fellas just wondering if anyone has been doing any good on the billies lately? We went out a couple of weeks ago found one nice bait ball halfway to the ships and had 5 bites but only converted one tiny black. Any recent reports or suggestions which direction to look would be greatly appreciated cheers paul

Why upgrade to a Sustain from Stradic CI4
Submitted by crasny1 on Mon, 2018-07-30 07:54Hi Wreckers
Just an opinion.
Cant see why you would pay ~$150 extra for a slightly lighter, one ball bearing extra reel from Stradic CI4 to a Sustain HG. The handle on the Stradic "feels" better in my opinion as well.
Am I missing something here.
Lost a rod/reel combo overboard with a Sustain 2500 (Not happy Jan!!) and wanting to replace that, and add another light weight whiting popper combo to the list. Doing that with Sustains and quality rods prob ~$1300, Stradic CI4's with identical rods ~$1000.
Cheers

navionics card
Submitted by wez0062 on Mon, 2018-07-23 12:09hey guys, i just got a Lawarnce 2 Hook 5 unit for my 4.2mtr dinghy, i didn't realise it would not have a navionics card. Should i just go for a "silver card " as i won't be going deep, just local coastal waters bewteen Jurien bay & Denmark, or do i have to get a Gold card. I thought Silver would be fine, but i am sure it is only usefull in water up to 10mtrs deep. I am CONFUSED.
PLEASE HELP :)
