I see you went for the MJ's mate, how good are they! I wish i had the money to replace mine. Since owning them (and wrecking them, only cos i wore them to work) going back to cheap alternatives I can really feel the difference SO HEAVY!.

[Do$tylz]

^^ have a dip at the Flying Fishermen sunnies. I don't own a pair but I did get to test them out at the SoO along with my pair of Spotters. They were more comfortable, lighter and had the same visibility as my exxy spotters.

It was an impulse Buy, I am happy with the Maui Jims,

But I think I would have been happy with almost any of the "Glass Polarised"

brands available.

MJ's have a $110 lens replacement deal, I am liking that.

here's another that just got dellivered...

Very nice lookin reel bud, are they expensive? (looks it)

NM LOL just checked ebay! :woohoo:

Do you think they worth the coin?

[rayke1938]

Went to the Boaties market this morning and scored a few goodies

1 50 litre post mix home brew keg for $20.

2. 40 lb riptide minnkota $40 reputed faulty toggle switch.

3 Brand new Eziguide self aligh boat loading guide $60 . Worth $140.

4 Berkley live bait tank and pump $70.

5 Couple rod holders 20c each.

6 Misc pulleys,stainless d shackles,rope jams etc 20c each.

7 2 new yallo 6" boat rollers $5 each worth over $30.

8 2 tie down straps one used for $2 and one new for $10

9 one new rule bilge pump $2.

10 I used 3 way battery switch $2.

Market was very big I spent 3 hours walking around. Ran into Ty there who was looking and drooling.

He was a bit disappointed when we saw someone loading a tinney on to his roofrack and when we asked him how much he replied $200. It would have been a great dam boat.

Cheers

Hahahaha.... Ray!

I always love your Sunday morning reports from the Boaties Market. If only I had the time and room to amass some of this stuff and tinker with it to bring it back to life.

Cant see the rod holders in the picture.... guess you must have put them on layby?

[rayke1938]

[Rocket75]

bargain hunter extraordinaire! that shed of yours better be insured for what the stuff is worth not what you paid for it?!

yeah they're pretty exxy. To tell you the truth I haven't really been able to push the limits with it too much. Its got 4lb braid on it and I caught a 35cm Jack on it the other week... thats been about it really. It performed flawlessly on that. It is a very well built reel though. Solid, balanced and sounds awesome when the drag goes off.

Is it worth it?? each to their own but to me... for the price I got it at... yep I still like my shimano Stella though

[Doobsy]

Sexy reel Do$tylz. What braid is that?

Purchased a Luvias DA Custom 3000/Luvias MHFS combo from Ray n' Annes for when we get into the heavier stuff.

Looking forward to blooding it on the weekend. ;-)

[Do$tylz]

its just fireline... will change it to frog PE when i feel up to it I just keep spending stupid amounts of money on crap.

[tikki169]

Just received my new Van Stall 6'6" jigging rod. Will be testing it out this weekend on a trip to Seal Rocks NSW.

[eg_vtec]

[ellicat]

Interesting. What's the point of the offset handle on a rod that size ?

[eg_vtec]

wow very epic combo!

[Eug]

Interesting. What's the point of the offset handle on a rod that size ?

Megabass slant bridge. More of a luring rod Brian, it has a few uses. The extra length can help balance the weight when using big lures, you can also use both hands to cast and the kink is there so that the butt stays clear of your forearm when twitching the rod. I'm sure there are few other uses for them?

I've often had a few of my rod butts bash up against my elbow when jigging and it can get annoying at times especially if you're aggressively working the lure. Needless to say after I found out how much these rods cost I stayed well away, I think I can put up with a bit of elbow bashing for a little while longer.

Cheers

Eug

P.S. Very sweet combo, that should handle the big ones no problem! Good buy!

[elops]

BSR 803 from the Loomis old stock sale a bargain

Satiga 3500 Light Game old model got this while they are still available because much as I hate to admit it the new models are a bit of a disappointment.

[Harvey80]

That is a beautiful combo mate. Nice work. Why do you think the new version is a disappointment?

Nice buying there steve! what the target species?

[elops]

Anything that eats the lure lol, versatile med/heavy spin outfit.

803 fights well above its weight, cant fault my old 3500 going to spool this with 14 lb Fireline.

[eg_vtec]

nice saltiga and rod!

[nadders]

sweet combo johnus. whats the target with that combo? the cranking power of my 250dc has saved me a few times in the pilons, its sitting on an ugly loomis though

[johnus]

Hey Nadders, I'm gonna spend some time in the B.River to chase some Jews & Threadies. Also Jacks and Barras in the future.

I'm getting use to that 'whiiizzzzz' noise when you cast out, mad cool.

[daveylad]

Ergonomically designed, light in weight, ability to be able to deliver a killing blow in one easy movement, bring on the Macks. Should go well with the new reels Dom.
