any suggestions?

...and some brands which you guys recommend?

cheers

Has anyone had any experience with these reels? I'm looking for a tough, well priced reel for use of my Kayak for light jigging, bottom bouncing stuff, with 40lb braid. They seem to be a well constructed reel, with solid componentry. I have 2 of the small si reels and they are proving reliable.

Any comments?

Any recommendations on a light spinning combo for boat use - KG's etc? I bought a Shimano Slade SL 1000 and took it to Shark Bay - should have left it there - too light and the line kept getting caught under the bottom of the spool - a cheap piece of poo.

Went down to Oceanside tackle shop & bought a new sounder yesterday.

Just wanna say a really BIG thanks to Ryan & Honsu for their knowledge, help & huge discount.

I'll recommend them to all.

Thanks guys.

Fitted the sounder last night & gave it a try out this arvo. Didn't find any fish but had fun trying to!!

Hey guys i am looking at buying a small spinning reel to spool with 2lb braid any recommendations? Budget is around 300 but less would be better.

Hey crew,

I'm looking to purchase a new and upgraded swag in the near future and with lack of buying options in Exmouth I am following up with an online purchase. Has anyone bought a swag off the net, know of any goods stores that are reputable and have reasonable prices?

I have looked on E-bay but am a little wary as to a sale gone bad not long ago.  The prices are very tempting from what I've seen, has anyone bought one of a reputable seller before they can recommend?

Ultimately, I'm looking for a single rollout, multi layered type job thats easy and durable for where I will be using it. I'm looking to spend upto 500, but would obviously like a cheap good option as it is to be tax deductible. A photo of what I'm looking to buy would be good too.

Cheers,

Adam

Hey guys anyone know where i can get hold aof a Diawa black sheep baitcaster? Found plenty of the 200 size versions but none in the 300 size. If not i might go with the Bluebacker 300bb insteed. Cheers Your old mate SPESS.

Hi
I am looking at getting the Daiwa Emcast Plus reel, does anyone know about it whether its good and bad or if theres anything else.
Also i need a rod to go with it, looking about 6ft and a line capacity 16-37kg preferabley around $100 or a bit over but not fussy. Would like to use it casting lures and drift baiting.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

ITS ON AGAIN GUYS/GALS FISHWRECKED ONLY MEMBERS

Hi,

this reel is rated to 200m of 8kg mono, no idea for braid & 7kg drag? I picked one up when someone upgraded to a saltist.

I wanted to get something to use this, perhaps off the rocks to toss a a few lures and mulies, but not too long as I might use it on my brother's boat. Perhaps up to 7-8', light tip, but some butt stiffness.

Anyone got some suggestions? How hard is it to swap spools on these? Perhaps I could swap spools for some heavier stuff offshore?

Anyone got the Shimano Tiralejo 8'? Something else out there similar, but jointed in the foregrip? Any other recommendations?

Thanks,

Till

Looking at buyin a shimano t/curve gt special pe3-8 max drag 12kg

I am sure everyone will join me in welcoming aboard Bernie Vale's Montebellos Charter business as one of our latest site sponsors. Bernie is one of the best Marlin skippers in the southern hemisphere, so hopefully we can look forward to a few reports from around Coral Bay and the Monte's.

Check out the link to their website by clicking on the image just under the "Strike Zone" on the left hand margin.

If you end up booking a trip with him, make sure you mention that you are a fishwrecked member.

With the birthday coming up my Mother asked me what I wanted and said no I not buying you any more fishing gear so thought I would get a good quality pair of boat shoes was looking at whitworths web page and liked some of the Burke and Henry Loyde but what other good quality boat shoes are out ther sick or wearing the sneakers they end up smelling like something has died in them after getting wet

Searching the fishing section on Ebay and wondering if anyone has picked up a bargain. I just got some skirted lures from there and was surprised at the quality for the price.
Has anyone else had a good or bad buy from Ebay?

 G'Day All, I own a tica graphite rod(graphite extreme) and I'm looking to update. I like playing fish as does everyone and have found these awsome rods from Shimano. They are called Fire Blood range of spinning rods. I went tonight and handled one , hell it was insane looking and felt great. As the price is around the $500 mark I'm wondering if anyone owns one and are they worth every cent?? The lad there loaded one up for me whilst I was hanging on the other end and they have some balls too!

Have just got a good report off a mate in the tornament seen over east. "Stimulate" the makers of the patened "Ultrabite" range of burley's etc are making plastics! There 100% biodagradable and they are made from human food grade material! They come in 3 ranges so far: SLAM paddletail, SLAM minnow, SLAM Jerk shad.

They come in a little Bag as usall but its filled with ultrabite stimulate as well. To top if off you just put the plastic back in its packet to reapply the sent. They say that they are deadly worked but catch just as many fish dead sticking as well, so you can use it like bait!

Won me over, ive got a couple of free samples on the way to test for them :)

Hi Guys i want to buy a new 1000 to 2000max sized reel for trout, bream etc only. No testing this one to its limmit :) Not to concerned on price as long as its realistic ie please dont recomend stellas! I will only be running 4lb over it max. Thanks, all comments please.

I have been looking for one of these for a while and thought it was a great idea if anyones interested. It contains everything needed to stay out for the rest of the day if an accident occures. Worth a post IMO. Check out the link below.

Hi guys i was just wondering if you could sugest a good low cut gimble belt to jig with but also one that could have a back harness attached to it for standup game as well. Ive got a blackmagic one thats surved me well for years but its time for retirement. Any ideas would be great on quality that wont brake the wallet to much as i know they can get expensive. Thanks Chris.

Ive got a thumper of a book at home which me grandad gave me for identifying fish species but its old has over 1500 pages in it and wieghs a tonne! Im looking for something that could almost go into the tackle bag or someones boat. Preferably water proof but doesnt have to be. Ive heard Adams got a great one but what are the good ones and wheres the best place to get it. The most ive seen are all the same and only have the same fisj which i already know what they are. Any info would be great. Cheers Chris.

Now this subject has been flogged through and through but im not yet satisfied! I want to buy either a Stella 20000 or a Saltiga expodition. Please if you have owned both (not just used one because ive used both myself!) Or owned either one for a while could you please give me your likes and dislikes on these reels. Ive heard and seen both stellas and saltigas fail before so its just a final toss up for me.

Have you had any problems?
If so what?
Did you buy one then change to the other?
If so why?
And just a general feed back from "OWNERS" of these reels to see what they think could be better with each one. Please just supply info on the requested reels above no other models as this is all im interested in.

Cheers Chris, muchly appreciated.
