i hate to be a bully but i thought id let you know that terry got ripped off. He payed $329 for his black magic harness. I decided id ring up a black magic dealer in brisbane and guess how much they were there $160!!! Unfortuneatly it was old stock and there was one left and it sold a few days ago. Hes guna get more in so they might be a bit more now. But no where near $329 according to the guy. Terry if u should learn anything, it should be that reaserch pays.

Dave, from what I saw, the cost price of the system is more than that. If you look on the web, you'll see you can get it for $400 from black magic - with free delivery, $107 US PER PIECE from the US (which is about $280 - which still doesn't help you because it's in the US, so you'd have to get it sent over) $350 from some shop in NZ.

$300 for some one from Anaconda.. which isn't the same as the one I have (it is not the all black model)

$350 for both pieces from Jones Tackle.. that's $175 per piece.

I get the feeling it's either 1. The white model? (I dunno when they stopped making them) or 2. $160 for each piece.

Edit:

/>http://www.gotyatackle.com/store/product.asp?ID=812 <- Harness alone for $155 on special.. normally $199.

Same place: http://www.gotyatackle.com/store/product.asp?ID=990 <- $315 for both. (This is a store in WA)

Based on what I've seen on the internet, and various stores what I paid was reasonable.

Edit 2:

Also, based on what OTHER FISHERMAN in AUSTRALIA have said about the Black Magic Harnesses, what I paid is a decent price.

It's possible this guy is ordering in the older WHITE model, which can still be bought (according to Black Magic) and, of course is a lot cheaper.

I reackon your both girls - who needs one - just tuck the butt end of your rod under your arm and give it to the bloody fish. What's wrong with you you sooks.

And that's for free!

its easier said then done. me and terry are both chasing shark 6ft+ so its not as easy asn stick between the legs or under the arm. also we arent boat based we are land based.

Dave Brian has caught plenty that size in th bay!

One was longer than the boat

So im thinking he has a pretty good idea.

[BIG DAVE 1]
