Who's got big uns then?

[Feral]

Alright,

Been telling my fishing mates about this deal, perfect for wife for chrissie present.

The AllRound Angler (caboolture) is selling pink ugly sticks from $59. Top buy.

No one I know is game to get one for their wife for christmas, no balls I reckon!

Unless of course you dont want to be seen fishing with a pink rod when you take it out to \"exercise\" it for her?

[Aaron H]

My couch is not comfortable enough for me to try that :laugh:

[Angus]

Tackleworld at tingalpa has pink cork handled rods.

One of these combined with a metallic pink spinning reel i bought on ebay could be the reason im going to spend the night after christmas on the couch!!! :whistle:

Good thing she doesnt read to many forum posts.

But my reasoning is \"darling i want to do stuff together\"

[Aaron H]

Thats not bad Angus, can I borrow that, Iwant to get a new Alvey for Xmas, I mean my girlfriend wants a new alvey for xmas, so we can spend time together, yeah that might work :laugh:

[Ash]

feral, do the ugly sticks come with pink reels?

Mife and little one wet a line with me every now and then. I might buy one for them if they're any good.

NO reel for that price. I have seen kids combo's in totally pink for around $20 to $25 but dont remember where.

[Angus]

As well as the Pink cork handled reels, Tacklworld Tingalpa also has Pink and Blue rod and reel combo's (Jarvis Walker i do believe). These are presently on sale actually

Make sure you mention the site if you go in :)

[FISH_mad_POM]

You boys over there are sarting to get me kinda worried !!!

A post about a pink rod for the wife and your all off talking about it !!!

not too sure if this really is about the wife ????:kiss:

[Brian D]

Mate don't worry about us and the pink rods - how's the ashes going mate.:evil: :laugh: :woohoo:

[Aaron H]

Good call Brian an English fella at work has finally shut up about last year go Warnie:laugh:

[Crank]

The pink rod thing is catching on over here too.

Texas and Austrailia... two of the manliest places on earth and all we can talk about is pink fishing rods.

I too am worried. :laugh:

Lucky for me though, my wife can fish with the best of 'em:

[Angus]

Mate thats awesome.

New years resolution, convince the mrs a second Kayak for her is an awesome idea :evil: :whistle:

Angus

[Ash]

Dude your wife rocks! My wife would bearly touch a fish, and yours is kissing one!

My missus has said she'd fish more with a pink rod, and that one you posted loooks pretty good crank. What brand is it?

[Crank]

Thanks for the compliments fellas! I'm a lucky guy for sure.

One thing I can say is that the kayak is what started it all. She enjoys paddling so if the fish aren't biting, she can still have fun. She's no slouch when it comes to fishing though. She uses a baitcaster and artificial lures. She refuses to use bait.

I really suggest a kayak if any of you guys are trying to get your ladies into fishing. Our Texas ladies are full of adventure as I'm sure those Aussie women are as well. My wife really enjoys it.

Ash,

The rod I posted is made by American Rodsmiths and it's built here in the states. Really good looking rod but I imagine it would cost a pretty penny in shipping.

If you'd like to see a better picture of the rod along with specifications you can download the catalog here. Hope that helps! If you don't mind paying shipping and want to purchase one let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. I am affiliated with this company.

Sorry, not trying to do a commercial, just trying to help if needed.

Just printed out the catalogue and have spent the last 2 hours drooling . Gotta have one . But which one.

Glad you like them Rayke. The H3's are really awesome. Extremely light and very sensitive if you use artificial baits.

Like I said, the shipping is a bit of an obstacle but I'd be more than willing to see what I could figure out. There is a local company called Paddlecast.com that does online sales. They might be willing to ship internationally for you all.

And by the way, I have to brag a little bit, that's me on the page with the kayak rods!

Not to get this way off topic, but I'm curious, what type of tackle do most of you guys use over there in Australia? Spinning reels? Baitcast reels? A combination of both? Do you guys do any fly fishing?

Here in Texas most guys use baitcasters, but if you go to Florida, everybody uses spinning reels. It's interesting to see how tackle changes by region.

Well from what I've seen here most of the people that fish small soft plastics and small hard body lures use small spinning reels. For big bait fishing for small sharks and salmon they use overheads. anyone else correct me?

tim

[Feral]

Dunno quite a few use overheads for lure and plastics as well.

Also anything big or surf I use the trusty Alveys.

[werewolf]

Gudday Crank. The \"spinner\" vs \"overhead\" debate is often hotly debated in these parts. Like some of the other boys have said for heavy tackle work overheads are generally the favourite, but for when using lighter tackle it normally comes up to user preferance. Overheads are tricky things to cast (I'm average at it) and when it comes to lighter baits/lures or fishing in wind or nightime, I would definately favour spinners. That said if I ever get the boat I've been talking about :whistle: my overhead would be my first choice for running shark baits out the back:cheer:
